This serif face shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read crisp at display sizes. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with a restrained, traditional skeleton and subtly flared joins. Lowercase forms are compact and lively, with a modest x-height, open counters, and a slightly calligraphic rhythm; the italic is not shown, and the roman maintains a steady vertical stance. Numerals appear as old-style figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a bookish texture and a traditional text color.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits formal applications such as invitations, programs, and refined branding, particularly at text-to-display sizes where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, with a refined, literary feel suited to established institutions and polished publishing. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing convey formality and elegance rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, old-style-inspired text serif that balances readability with a distinctly traditional, high-contrast elegance. Its proportions and old-style numerals point toward typographic settings that prioritize classic page rhythm and a literary atmosphere.
In the sample text, the face produces a textured, typographic page color with clear word shapes and distinctive punctuation; the ampersand is traditional and prominent. The delicate hairlines and tapered details suggest it will look best where there is enough size and print/screen quality to preserve fine strokes.
