A refined serif with bracketed serifs, moderate-to-high stroke contrast, and a smooth, calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with crisp terminals and slightly tapered strokes, while the lowercase shows oldstyle traits such as a two-storey “g,” a gently angled stress in rounded letters, and a compact, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern with delicate hairlines and sturdier verticals, maintaining a consistent color in text.
Well-suited to body copy in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture and comfortable readability are priorities. It can also support formal communication—reports, academic material, and cultural institutions—while remaining strong enough for headings and pull quotes when set larger.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an elegant seriousness that feels established rather than trendy. Its measured contrast and composed proportions convey authority and polish, lending a quietly upscale character to long-form reading and formal messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, highly readable text serif with traditional detailing and a controlled contrast profile. Its shapes prioritize clarity and a familiar literary voice, suggesting an intent to perform reliably across extended reading and typographic hierarchy.
Spacing appears balanced for paragraph setting, with clear counters and restrained detailing that keeps the texture even in continuous text. The italic is not shown in the samples, so the impression is driven by the upright’s steady, editorial texture and classic serif finishing.
