A classic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, bookish construction with slightly tapered stems, sharp triangular terminals in places, and open, readable counters. Uppercase proportions feel stately and moderately wide, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively small x-height and clear ascender/descender rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with firm vertical stress and pronounced serifs, giving figures a composed, editorial look.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and magazines where a traditional serif texture is desired, as well as editorial headlines that benefit from contrast and presence. It can also support formal branding applications—such as cultural institutions, law, or luxury-adjacent materials—where a conventional yet refined serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking traditional printing and established institutions. Its high contrast and decisive serifs lend an authoritative voice suited to serious, polished messaging rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience with added elegance from pronounced contrast and crisp serif detailing. It balances familiar oldstyle conventions with sharper terminals to create a confident, print-forward texture.
In text, the font presents a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm driven by contrast and tapered joins, while maintaining conventional shapes for familiarity. The italic is not shown, but the roman has enough character in terminals and stress to feel expressive without becoming ornate.
