A high-contrast serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a traditional, bookish skeleton. Curves show a gently calligraphic stress, with thick verticals and noticeably finer hairlines, especially in the bowls and joins. Capitals are stately and compact with crisp finishing, while lowercase forms feel more humanist than geometric, mixing rounded bowls with subtly tapered strokes and sculpted terminals. Figures are oldstyle in flavor, with varied widths and curving shapes that harmonize with the text rhythm.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly for magazine headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials. The lively contrast and classic proportions make it a good choice for invitations, programs, and heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a refined, established tone.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, composed, and slightly ceremonial. Its contrast and finely finished details suggest refinement and authority, giving text a traditional editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable text serif with a touch of oldstyle warmth, pairing traditional proportions with crisp contrast for a polished page color. It balances formality with humanist shaping to keep paragraphs engaging while remaining familiar and trustworthy.
The overall texture is dark and confident at display and larger text sizes, with sharp interior counters and delicate hairlines that add sparkle. Serifs and terminals are consistent across the set, creating a steady horizontal rhythm while allowing natural width variation for an organic reading flow.
