A classic serif with strongly bracketed serifs, crisp terminals, and noticeable stroke contrast that gives letters a carved, print-like clarity. The proportions feel traditional, with moderate caps and a steady rhythm in text, while the curves show a slightly calligraphic modulation rather than purely geometric construction. Bowls and counters are generous and open, and the numerals share the same contrasted, slightly oldstyle flavor, keeping the overall texture even and readable.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits formal print applications such as invitations, certificates, and institutional communications, and can add a classic tone to headlines and pull quotes without feeling ornamental.
The font conveys a composed, authoritative tone with a distinctly literary and editorial feel. Its contrast and serif detailing suggest tradition and credibility, leaning more toward cultivated and timeless than modern or utilitarian.
Designed to provide a conventional text serif with elevated refinement, balancing readability with a more polished, high-contrast finish. The aim appears to be an all-purpose literary roman that feels familiar, credible, and comfortable in extended text.
The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits a confident baseline presence and clean finishing details on terminals and serifs. In the sample text, the type maintains a consistent color and legibility at larger reading sizes, with a refined sparkle from the contrast.
