This serif typeface shows pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines, with bracketed serifs that transition smoothly into the stems. Forms feel broad and generously spaced, with open counters and steady, upright construction. Curves are softly modeled rather than geometric, and many terminals end in subtle teardrop or flared shapes that give the strokes a lightly calligraphic finish. Capitals carry a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains clear, readable proportions and a calm, even rhythm in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines, where its open counters and disciplined rhythm support comfortable text setting. The high-contrast construction and confident capitals also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and premium packaging or branding that benefits from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting a composed, bookish confidence. Its crisp contrast and refined detailing suggest tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate, making it feel at home in literary and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast palette: familiar proportions, clear differentiation between letters, and carefully shaped serifs and terminals that add elegance while preserving readability.
The ampersand is traditional and prominent, and the numerals share the same high-contrast, old-style sensibility with elegant curves and fine joins. Stroke endings and serifs are consistently shaped across the set, creating a cohesive texture in paragraphs and a polished silhouette in display sizes.
