A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence in the lowercase, with rounded bowls, lively terminals, and a moderate x-height that keeps counters open in text. Capitals are sturdy and proportioned for text setting, with clear vertical stress and confident hairlines that sharpen the overall rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight stems with rounded forms for an even, editorial texture.
Well suited to book and editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, including magazines, essays, and academic materials. It can also serve in refined brand systems, invitations, and formal communications—particularly for headlines and pull quotes where its contrast and crisp serifs can be showcased.
The font reads as classic and literary, with a composed, traditional tone. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a refined, formal edge, while the familiar text-serif structure keeps it approachable for long-form reading.
Designed to deliver a familiar, readable text serif with a polished, classical presence. The intent appears to balance robust readability with elegant contrast and finishing, creating a dependable face for conventional publishing and formal copy.
In the text sample the face holds together well at large sizes, producing a dark, authoritative color with clear word shapes. The combination of strong main strokes and delicate hairlines suggests it will reward careful typesetting where rendering and output quality preserve fine details.
