This serif typeface presents crisp, bracketed serifs with gently flared terminals and a clear, calligraphic modulation through the strokes. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress and a slightly organic rhythm, while verticals stay steady enough for continuous reading. Capitals are stately and compact with pronounced serifs, and the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with sturdy stems and open counters. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a traditional text flavor.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support formal headings, pull quotes, and print branding that benefits from a classic, trustworthy presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying tradition and credibility. Its sharpened serifs and lively contrast add a touch of elegance without becoming ornamental, making it feel suitable for refined, serious messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a historically informed, slightly calligraphic construction, prioritizing readable texture and familiar letterforms while retaining enough contrast and terminal detail to feel refined in print.
The italic is not shown; the roman exhibits small, characteristic inflections at joins and terminals that keep long passages from feeling mechanical. The color on the page is moderately dark and even, with strong word shapes and distinct forms across similar letters.
