A finely drawn serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms show a calligraphic logic: thin hairlines, fuller verticals, and tapered terminals that stay sharp at the ends. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly spaced, while the lowercase includes classic details like a double-storey “g” and a sturdy “a,” supporting a conventional, bookish texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and distinctive curved strokes that integrate smoothly with the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting an academic and editorial voice rather than a trendy or decorative one. Its contrast and crisp finishing give it a refined, slightly formal presence suited to serious content and polished presentation.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, time-tested typographic voice. Its calligraphic contrast and crisp bracketed serifs aim to deliver a polished, literary character across both display and paragraph settings.
The italic is not shown, and the design emphasis appears to be on a clean roman with careful serif shaping and consistent modulation. The sample text suggests good clarity at larger text sizes, with enough contrast to feel elegant without becoming overly delicate.
