A high-contrast serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, creating a crisp black-on-white rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and slightly wedge-like, with pointed terminals that give strokes a carved, traditional finish rather than a blunt slab feel. Curves are generously rounded and slightly calligraphic in the way they meet stems, and counters stay open and clean even in tighter letters like e, a, and s. Proportions lean toward a stately, bookish texture: capitals are strong and steady, while lowercase forms balance compact bodies with clear ascenders and descenders for readable word shapes. Figures follow the same contrast and serif logic, with an oldstyle-flavored elegance and noticeable stroke modulation.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine spreads where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from high-contrast refinement and a traditional typographic texture.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition with a refined, print-like crispness. Its contrast and pointed details add a formal, slightly dramatic edge suited to serious or literary settings rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif experience with elevated contrast and carefully shaped serifs, aiming for a timeless reading feel while retaining enough sharpness for elegant display moments.
The font’s contrast and delicate hairlines are visually prominent in the sample text, suggesting it will look best when given enough size and good reproduction conditions so the fine details don’t fill in. The letterforms maintain a consistent, traditional rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a familiar book-typography color.
