A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered serifs and clear bracketing that gives strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The lowercase shows an oldstyle rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a double-storey “g” with a distinct ear, and a compact “e” with a firm horizontal bar. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with pronounced wedge-like terminals and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same contrast and detailing, reading as traditional, book-oriented figures with crisp joins and controlled curves.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its traditional serif detailing and controlled rhythm hold together across paragraphs. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, authoritative, and refined. Its strong contrast and pointed serifs add a sense of ceremony and tradition, making it feel suited to established institutions and editorial environments.
The likely intention is to provide a conventional, text-first serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing—aimed at comfortable reading while retaining a refined, slightly formal character for editorial and institutional typography.
The design maintains a consistent contrast pattern across rounds and straights, producing a lively texture in paragraphs without becoming overly decorative. Spacing appears balanced for continuous text, and the sharp terminals create a clean, slightly dramatic sparkle at display sizes.
