This serif shows a traditional, oldstyle-influenced construction with bracketed serifs and clear contrast between thick and thin strokes. Curves are smoothly modeled and the joins feel slightly calligraphic, while verticals remain steady and upright. Proportions are moderately wide with a comfortable rhythm for text, and the lowercase features rounded bowls and softly tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, book-face logic, with open counters and a balanced, slightly varied width across figures.
It is well suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and refined contrast support comfortable reading. The font can also work effectively for formal communications—programs, invitations, and institutional materials—where a traditional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, cultivated voice suited to long-form reading. Its high-contrast elegance adds a formal, editorial character without becoming overtly decorative, giving text a confident, traditional presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a slightly oldstyle flavor: readable, composed, and stylistically conservative, while still offering enough contrast and crisp serif detailing to feel polished in print-like settings.
Details such as the two-storey forms for a and g, the restrained ear and beak-like terminals, and the crisp, bracketed serifs reinforce a conventional text-serif feel. The italic is not shown; all samples here present a consistent upright roman texture.
