A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms are upright and generously proportioned, with broad caps and open counters that keep the texture clear at text sizes. Curves show a slightly calligraphic modulation, with tapered terminals on letters like C, S, and a, and sturdy verticals in H, N, and U that anchor the rhythm. The lowercase follows familiar oldstyle-influenced shaping with a two-storey a and g, moderate extenders, and numerals that echo the same contrast and serif treatment for a cohesive page color.
Well-suited to books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and comfortable readability are needed. It can also serve for headlines and subheads that want a traditional, authoritative tone without heavy stylization.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting seriousness and trust without feeling ornamental. It reads as measured and editorial, with a quiet elegance that suits long-form content and institutional settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that balances strong contrast with generous proportions for legibility. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on versatile reading typography and editorial use rather than display novelty.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and sharp joins give a lively, slightly sparkling texture, while the wide proportions help prevent dark spots in dense lines. The design favors clarity and conventional forms over eccentric details, making it feel immediately familiar.
