A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a calm, upright stance. Strokes show clear modulation with relatively thin hairlines and sturdier verticals, producing a crisp, bookish texture. The letterforms are moderately proportioned with open counters and carefully shaped apertures; curves transition smoothly into stems, and serifs read sharp but not brittle. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a text-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery, where the contrast and sharp detailing add polish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, formal presence. Its contrast and crisp serifs suggest refinement and tradition rather than minimalism or loud display styling.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif texture with a refined, print-forward character. The combination of bracketed serifs, controlled contrast, and oldstyle figures suggests an aim toward classic typography for text and editorial settings.
The sample text shows even spacing and a steady baseline color at larger text sizes, while the thin hairlines add elegance in headings. Descenders are noticeable and contribute to a traditional page feel, especially in the numerals.
