A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a crisp, calligraphic modulation between thick stems and hairline joins. The proportions feel traditionally book-oriented: moderate x-height, generous ascenders, and compact, balanced capitals. Curves are smoothly drawn with tapered terminals, and counters are open without feeling geometric. The lowercase shows oldstyle influence in forms like the two-storey a and g, while numerals and capitals maintain a steady, composed rhythm across lines of text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its contrast and classical proportions can carry dense text with clarity. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and serious without becoming brittle. Its sharp hairlines and confident serifs suggest tradition, credibility, and editorial refinement, lending a quietly prestigious character to paragraphs and headings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with practicality. Its high-contrast construction and bracketed serifs aim to provide a familiar, authoritative texture on the page while preserving crisp detail for display moments.
In the sample text, spacing appears even and comfortable, supporting continuous reading. The italic is not shown; the upright style relies on contrast and serif detailing to create hierarchy and emphasis. The uppercase has a dignified presence suitable for titling, while the lowercase remains calm and readable at text sizes.
