This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharply tapered main strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and smoothly modeled, with noticeable stroke modulation and a crisp, ink-trap-free finish. The lowercase shows a compact x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm is slightly varied in width, giving words a lively, traditionally proportioned texture. Details such as the two-storey “a,” compact “e,” and the ball/teardrop-like terminals on letters like “j” reinforce a classic text-serif construction.
It suits book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, especially at moderate to larger text sizes. The high contrast and sculpted capitals also make it effective for chapter titles, pull quotes, and headline typography in print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial voice. Its strong contrast and refined serifs suggest tradition and authority, while the slightly lively proportions keep it from feeling overly mechanical.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, literature-oriented serif with classical proportions and pronounced contrast, aiming for an authoritative reading experience and an elegant editorial presence.
In the samples, the uppercase reads with a dignified, display-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy text color at larger sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle (with varying heights and descenders), blending naturally into running text rather than standing apart as lining figures.
