A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a disciplined, text-oriented construction. Strokes alternate between fine hairlines and sturdy verticals, with smooth, calligraphic modulation and clean terminals. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a traditional two-storey “a” and “g,” while capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, featuring sharp joins and confident diagonals. Numerals are oldstyle-like in spirit, with noticeable variety in widths and curved forms that keep the rhythm lively in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from a refined, traditional presence.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured, articulate, and slightly ceremonious. Its contrast and crisp detailing add a refined, editorial polish while maintaining an approachable, traditional reading voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text while adding a touch of elegance through pronounced contrast and crisp finishing. It balances classical proportions with enough sharpness to feel clean and contemporary in editorial settings.
In the sample text, the type maintains a steady baseline and clear word shapes, with fine hairlines that add sparkle at larger sizes. The serifs stay firm without becoming slabby, and the overall color on the page reads balanced rather than dark or overly delicate.
