A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and tapered stroke endings that give a subtly calligraphic texture. The letterforms show moderate axis modulation and rounded joins, with open counters and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately with carefully shaped bowls and spurs, while lowercase forms (notably a double-storey “a” and “g”) are compact and balanced with clear differentiation across similar shapes. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, with varied widths that help maintain an even typographic color.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined display lines. Its contrast and sharp detailing make it especially at home in print-like layouts and high-resolution digital editorial design.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward literary refinement rather than overt ornament. Its sharp hairlines and confident serifs convey authority and polish, while the slightly oldstyle movement keeps it warm enough for continuous reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes familiar Renaissance-to-transitional reading cues—bracketed serifs, clear lowercase structure, and disciplined proportions—while adding a touch of elegance for contemporary editorial use.
In the sample text, the font maintains strong clarity at larger sizes, with crisp hairlines and clean spacing that supports multi-line settings. The italics are not shown, and the roman carries most of the expressive character through contrast, serif shaping, and subtle stroke curvature.
