This serif presents a high-contrast, oldstyle-leaning texture with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. Curves are smooth and generously open, while verticals stay steady and clean, creating an even rhythm in text. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with a moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and a two-storey “g” with a pronounced ear and loop. Capitals are stately and slightly spacious, with fine hairlines and sharp joints that emphasize a polished, print-like finish.
It performs well in editorial settings such as magazine layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif color is desired. The refined contrast and clean serifs also suit branding, packaging, and formal printed materials like programs and invitations, especially at display or comfortable text sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, with a distinctly editorial and bookish sensibility. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals give it a formal, confident voice suited to high-end communication without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished details. It aims for a balanced reading texture paired with enough sharpness and elegance to carry headlines and premium branding.
Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasty, with elegant curves and subtle baseline presence; the “2” and “3” show pronounced calligraphic shaping, and the “4” has an open, classical construction. The “Q” features a sweeping tail, and letters like “R,” “K,” and “y” use lively diagonals that add motion while keeping the texture controlled.
