A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Strokes move from fine hairlines to firm main stems, producing a clean, high-contrast rhythm in both text and display sizes. Uppercase forms are stately and balanced with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face proportions with compact terminals and carefully tapered joins. Numerals follow an oldstyle feel with varied heights and curved entry/exit strokes, supporting a lively, text-oriented color.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where crisp serifs and strong contrast help define word shapes. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The tone is cultivated and traditional, evoking book typography, publishing, and institutional formality. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast lend a sense of refinement and authority without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability. Its proportions and detailing suggest an emphasis on book and editorial typography, with enough sharpness to perform confidently in display settings.
The italic is not shown; the visible roman relies on tapered curves and disciplined serif transitions to keep letterforms crisp. In running text the spacing and counters read evenly, while the stronger capitals and curving figures add a subtle, classical elegance.
