This serif displays strong thick–thin modulation with a calligraphic, slightly diagonal stress and crisply cut bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and fairly wide with sharp apexes and clean, tapered joins, while the lowercase shows compact, rhythmic bowls and sturdy verticals. Curves are smooth and full, with modestly cupped or sheared terminals on letters like c, e, and f, giving a traditional text-face texture. The numerals include oldstyle forms that sit comfortably with the lowercase, contributing to an evenly colored paragraph despite the high contrast.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired, and it scales well into display sizes for chapter openers, pull quotes, and headlines. The oldstyle numerals and balanced mixed-case color make it a strong choice for culturally oriented branding, invitations, and institutions that want a traditional, literary tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a polished, authoritative presence. Its sharp serifs and lively contrast add a sense of refinement and seriousness suited to established editorial voices.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif that emphasizes readability and an established typographic voice, combining high-contrast elegance with stable proportions for comfortable, continuous reading.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm across mixed-case text, with clear differentiation between similar forms (notably I/l and O/0) and a slightly animated, hand-influenced feel in the round letters and terminals. The italic is not shown; the sample reflects a steady upright voice throughout.
