This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Capitals are broad and dignified, with generous bowls (C, O, Q) and strong vertical emphasis in stems. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy with rounded joins, a two-storey a and g, and a pronounced ball terminal on the y; the f has a long descending tail that adds rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with open counters and clear shapes, making them feel integrated with the text.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic, authoritative serif is desired. The strong contrast and wide capitals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that want a traditional, print-forward character.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, evoking book typography and established print conventions. Its sharp contrast and confident serifs give it a serious, cultivated voice, while the lively terminals and curving joins keep it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully shaped serifs to deliver a polished, literary feel. Its proportions and detailing suggest a focus on readability and typographic gravitas, while retaining enough liveliness for display use.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, with clear word shapes and strong verticals that support a steady reading rhythm. The italic is not shown, and the sample demonstrates a consistent, text-oriented color despite the high-contrast detailing.
