This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with sharp, wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and the bowls of b/p), while verticals remain crisp and steady, giving a clear text rhythm. The capitals feel stately with slightly flared strokes and delicate hairlines, and the lowercase has traditional, readable proportions with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and slightly variable character widths that create a lively, bookish texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally with running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture and strong contrast are desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
Overall, the font conveys a classic, editorial tone: measured, formal, and quietly elegant. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing lend an authoritative, traditional voice suited to serious or literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, print-oriented feel—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with crisp contrast to produce a refined, legible page color.
In the text sample, spacing and color read balanced rather than tightly packed, with crisp punctuation and a clear hierarchy between robust main strokes and fine hairlines. Diagonals (V, W, X, and y) are clean and confident, while the Q’s tail and the g’s lower loop add a subtle calligraphic character without becoming decorative.
