A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and sculpted strokes that show a clear broad-nib influence. The lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls, slightly cupped terminals, and a two-storey “a” paired with a single-storey “g”. Capitals are proportionally broad with confident verticals and carefully tapered joins, producing a steady, readable texture in paragraphs while retaining sharp detail at the ends of strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a literary, editorial feel that reads as established and trustworthy. Its crisp contrast and formal detailing suggest a measured, cultivated voice rather than a casual or playful one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp contrast, aiming for strong readability while projecting a refined, heritage-leaning character appropriate for editorial and literary settings.
The rhythm in text is even and controlled, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that give the page a lively sparkle. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-inspired logic, integrating smoothly with running text rather than standing apart as purely geometric figures.
