This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp hairlines and sturdier verticals, paired with bracketed, sharply finished serifs. The capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps curves lively and counters open. Lowercase forms lean oldstyle in spirit, with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and gently tapered terminals that add texture without looking overly ornate. Overall spacing and rhythm read even, producing a composed, bookish color in paragraph settings while retaining clear, decisive outlines in display sizes.
It fits long-form reading and editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a formal, traditional tone.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting printed literature, academic settings, and heritage branding. Its contrast and sharp detailing give it a refined, authoritative voice, while the oldstyle touches keep it warm and human rather than strictly mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and careful finishing, balancing readability with a polished, classical character. Its detailing suggests an aim to evoke established print traditions while remaining clean and serviceable across text and display applications.
Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, mixing strong stems with delicate joins and giving figures a slightly elegant, editorial presence. The italic is not shown; all samples present an upright roman with consistent modulation and stable baseline behavior.
