This serif has a high-contrast, oldstyle-inflected structure with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller curved strokes. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving a carved, calligraphic feel without becoming ornate. Proportions are moderately compact with sturdy capitals and a gently varied rhythm across the lowercase; counters are open and terminals are clean and decisive. The numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment, with smooth curves and a slightly traditional, book-face texture in text settings.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that need a refined, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and polish. Its crisp contrast and bracketed details feel formal and editorial, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography rather than a contemporary or experimental voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—aiming for readability and a familiar bookish texture while adding a slightly dressy, editorial crispness.
In the text sample, the face maintains an even color despite the contrast, with clear differentiation between similar forms and a steady baseline presence. The combination of sharp hairlines and substantial curves makes it most at home at text to display sizes where the detailing can be appreciated.
