A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and crisp, tapered joins. Curves show a calligraphic stress, with thin hairlines and more robust verticals creating a polished, print-like rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with moderate width and open counters, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact e, and a gently angled crossbar on t. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and ascender/descender behavior that blends naturally with the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support refined headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral like invitations or institutional communications, especially when paired with generous leading.
The overall tone is classical and composed, leaning toward bookish refinement rather than display flamboyance. Its sharp serifs and clean contrast lend an authoritative, traditional voice suited to serious reading contexts.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, conventional text serif that delivers a familiar, literary tone with elevated contrast and neatly finished serifs for a refined page texture.
In the text sample the face maintains an even, stable color despite the contrast, and the punctuation and ampersand feel consistent with the restrained, conventional construction. Diagonal strokes (like in V/W/X) are clean and pointed, reinforcing a precise, engraved-like finish.
