A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, bookish rhythm. Strokes show clear calligraphic modulation with relatively thin hairlines and fuller verticals, producing crisp joins and defined terminals. Proportions are moderately compact with open counters and slightly tapered stems; the lowercase reads even and text-forward, while capitals feel stately and well-balanced. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders/descenders and noticeable variation in figure widths, contributing to a traditional texture in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, subheads, and typographic quotations that benefit from contrast and a polished, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting formality and credibility without feeling ornamental. Its crisp contrast and traditional forms suggest editorial seriousness—appropriate for content meant to feel established and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar shapes, clear differentiation, and a refined printed texture. Its oldstyle numerals and bracketed serifs point toward comfortable reading and classic typographic voice in editorial settings.
In the sample text, spacing and word color stay consistent at larger sizes, with distinct letterforms (notably the two-storey a and g) supporting clear differentiation. The sturdy serifs and pronounced contrast make it especially confident for headings and pull quotes while retaining a conventional page texture.
