A classical serif with strongly bracketed wedge-like serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are generously proportioned with broad capitals and ample sidebearings, giving lines an open, stately rhythm. Curves are full and slightly calligraphic, with tapered joins and a noticeable diagonal stress in rounded characters. Lowercase shows a relatively modest x-height with sturdy ascenders/descenders, while the numerals share the same high-contrast, oldstyle flavor.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and broad proportions also make it effective for display use—titles, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding—especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an air of authority reminiscent of book typography and institutional publishing. Its lively contrast and tapered details add a dignified, slightly historic character rather than a purely neutral one.
Likely drawn to evoke traditional, bookish serif conventions while adding extra breadth and pronounced contrast for a confident, display-capable presence. The bracketed serifs and calligraphic modulation suggest an intention to balance readability with a distinctly classic, authoritative texture.
In text, the wide set and prominent serifs create a strong horizontal texture; it reads best when given comfortable tracking and leading. The design favors elegance and presence over compactness, and its high-contrast details become a defining feature at larger sizes.
