This is a conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic feel with gently cupped terminals and occasional flare at joins, while counters are generously open and the overall rhythm is steady and text-oriented. Capitals are stately with moderate width and clean, confident curves; the lowercase keeps a traditional proportion with a normal x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and a double-storey “g”. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with a distinctive curved “2” and rounded “8/9” that read smoothly at text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and refined print or digital typography that benefits from high contrast and classic letterforms.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured, trustworthy, and slightly traditional. Its crisp contrast and elegant detailing lend a refined, bookish personality that feels appropriate for serious or cultivated contexts without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances elegance with readability. Its controlled contrast, familiar proportions, and carefully shaped serifs suggest a focus on comfortable continuous reading and a timeless, publication-ready voice.
The design leans toward an oldstyle/transitional sensibility: curved entry/exit strokes and bracketed serifs soften the high contrast, helping paragraphs maintain an even texture. In the sample text, the face holds together well in longer lines, with clear word shapes and a restrained, formal presence.
