A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphy-influenced modulation. Round letters show a gently angled stress, while vertical stems remain firm and sharply finished. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned; lowercase forms are open and readable with compact, controlled joins and a lively rhythm. Numerals include oldstyle forms with ascenders/descenders, contributing to a traditional text color and a slightly varied texture across lines.
Well-suited to body text in books and long-form editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and clear rhythm are desired. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, chapter titles, and refined branding that benefits from high-contrast elegance without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a polished, traditional presence. Its sharp serifs and elegant contrast give it a formal, editorial character suited to established institutions and long-standing publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif that leans on classical proportions and calligraphic contrast to deliver a refined page color. Oldstyle numerals reinforce a literary, typographic tradition aimed at editorial and book-oriented settings.
Stroke endings are clean and pointed without becoming spiky, and spacing appears balanced for continuous reading. The italics are not shown; the upright roman carries most of the personality through contrast, stress, and serif shaping.
