A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs, tapered stems, and a composed, bookish rhythm. The curves show a vertical stress and clean transitions into the hairlines, giving counters a clear, open feel without looking delicate. Capitals are broad and steady with confident serifs, while the lowercase keeps a familiar text-serif structure and moderate extenders that support comfortable word shapes. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a classic, integrated texture in running text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs strongly for headlines, titles, and pull quotes that benefit from crisp contrast. Its oldstyle numerals and traditional forms make it a natural fit for print-forward branding, programs, invitations, and other formal materials.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its contrast and crisp finishing lend a slightly refined, polished character suited to measured, formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly readable text serif with a refined contrast profile and a classic publishing feel, balancing elegance with enough structural solidity for sustained reading.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent typographic color at large sizes, with sharp punctuation and sturdy joins that keep the design from feeling brittle. The combination of high contrast and conventional proportions emphasizes clarity and a classic typographic voice.
