This is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation between thick verticals and hairline joins. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, with sharp apexes and tapered terminals that keep the texture clean at display sizes. The lowercase shows traditional book-face proportions with a moderate x-height, round counters, and smooth entry/exit strokes; joins and bowls are carefully tapered rather than mechanical. Numerals include oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a classical, text-oriented rhythm.
It suits long-form editorial settings such as books and magazines where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs well for headlines and pull quotes that benefit from strong contrast and crisp detail. The oldstyle figures make it especially fitting for literary layouts, catalogs, and other text that includes frequent numerals in running copy.
Overall, the tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. The sharp hairlines and elegant serifs add a sense of refinement and ceremony, while the steady rhythm keeps it readable and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented serif that balances tradition with clarity, using pronounced contrast and refined serifs to deliver an authoritative, polished page color.
In the sample text, spacing and stroke contrast create a lively light–dark pattern typical of classic serifs; hairlines and fine terminals become a key part of the personality at larger sizes. The italic is not shown, so the observed character is based on the upright roman only.
