Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a traditional text rhythm.
Well suited to extended reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support formal branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, established typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness and a refined, established voice. Its sharp finishing and contrast add a slightly formal, upscale edge while staying readable and familiar.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for comfortable reading and a timeless appearance. Its combination of high contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals aims to evoke traditional print typography while remaining clean and usable in contemporary layouts.
The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” and the “e” has a gently angled crossbar, contributing to an oldstyle, calligraphic flavor. Capitals are steady and stately, with clean, symmetrical construction and restrained detailing that supports longer passages.
