This is a high-contrast serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation. Letterforms show compact proportions with a relatively short x-height and lively curves, while capitals have elegant, tapered terminals and a stately rhythm. The italic is not shown; the upright roman maintains crisp joins, rounded bowls, and subtly organic stress, giving text a traditional, bookish color without feeling overly rigid.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings such as books and magazine typography, especially where a classical, high-contrast serif is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or programs when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional printing and literary publishing. Its sharp serifs and sculpted curves add a hint of formality and drama, making it feel appropriate for serious, polished communication rather than casual UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif voice with heightened contrast and elegant detailing, balancing readability with a distinctly traditional, print-forward character.
Numerals appear lining and text-oriented, with noticeable contrast and traditional shapes (including a curved, oldstyle-feeling ‘2’ and a more calligraphic ‘7’). In the sample paragraph, the spacing reads open enough for display and large-size text, while the short x-height suggests it benefits from generous sizes or leading for extended reading.
