This serif presents a crisp, bookish construction with moderate-to-high stroke modulation and bracketed wedge serifs. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with sharp apexes and clear vertical stress, while lowercase shows oldstyle influence—most notably in the two-storey a and g, the diagonal-shouldered r, and the gently tapered terminals. The rhythm is even and readable, with open counters, a balanced x-height, and numerals that align comfortably with the text texture.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and other long-form editorial settings where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also scales effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal headlines that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking printed literature and institutional typography. It feels authoritative without becoming ornate, with a calm, composed texture that suits long-form reading and conservative branding.
The design appears aimed at a conventional text serif with refined contrast and traditional detailing, prioritizing readability and a composed page color. Its letterforms balance historical cues with a clean, contemporary finish for dependable use in editorial and institutional contexts.
Details like the teardrop-like ear on g, the narrow, slightly curved tails on letters such as Q and y, and the pointed joins in W/V add a subtly calligraphic flavor. Spacing appears disciplined, producing a steady color in paragraphs while still allowing individual letterforms to look lively.
