A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. The capitals show classic proportions with sturdy verticals and crisp, wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and lively curves. Stroke modulation is evident throughout, with rounded joins and subtly flared terminals that keep the texture warm rather than rigid. Figures include old-style forms that sit comfortably in running text, reinforcing an editorial, bookish color on the page.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support headings and pull quotes when set a bit larger, where the contrast and bracketed serifs become a defining stylistic element. Its old-style numerals make it especially fitting for text-heavy pages that include dates, references, or measured figures.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an approachable warmth typical of book typography. Its sharp serifs and confident contrast add a sense of authority, while the slightly irregular, humanist motion keeps it from feeling cold or overly formal. It reads as classic and established, suited to content that benefits from credibility and craft.
Designed to deliver a classic, humanist reading experience with strong contrast and a crafted, calligraphic undercurrent. The intention appears to balance authority and warmth, producing a familiar book-face voice that remains distinctive through lively modulation and serif detailing.
In paragraph settings the face produces a strong, dark text color with distinct letterforms and clear counters. The italic is not shown; the displayed roman relies on contrast and serif shaping rather than geometric uniformity to create character. The mix of crisp edges and softened curves gives it a subtly vintage, print-oriented feel.
