This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a subtly calligraphic axis and clean, bracketed serifs. Capitals are sturdy and traditional, with generous counters and a measured, even rhythm; the round letters (O, Q, C) are smooth and open, while stems stay crisp at joins and terminals. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, producing a calm text color; the two-storey a and g are conventionally drawn, and the italicless, upright construction reads steady rather than mannered. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a slightly more handwritten flow that blends naturally into continuous text.
It suits long-form reading environments such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support headings and literary titling when set with comfortable leading, benefiting from its crisp contrast and traditional detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed books, academic publishing, and editorial typography. Its high-contrast strokes and dignified proportions give it a refined, slightly formal voice without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes a familiar reading rhythm and a timeless print sensibility. Its restrained detailing and oldstyle number styling suggest an emphasis on literary and editorial use rather than display experimentation.
Spacing and proportions feel designed for paragraph setting: letters interlock smoothly, with consistent serifs and controlled joins that keep lines orderly. The figures’ descending forms add a classical texture in running text and reinforce the typeface’s book-oriented character.
