This serif shows crisp, finely tapered strokes with clear thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and proportioned for text, with moderate apertures, compact joins, and a steady vertical rhythm. Capitals are stately and relatively wide, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure (two-storey a and g) with tidy terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress that reads as print-oriented rather than geometric.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books, editorial pages, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desired. It also suits refined branding, invitations, and headings that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice, especially at text-to-display sizes where its contrast and serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness and a quietly formal voice. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing give it a refined, authoritative feel suited to established institutions and polished publishing.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-like text serif that balances readability with elegance. Its detailing favors a classic publishing aesthetic—crisp contrast, bracketed serifs, and familiar proportions—aimed at producing a cultivated page color in continuous reading.
Numerals align with the same oldstyle-inspired, serifed construction as the letters, mixing rounded forms with crisp terminals for an elegant texture. In paragraph settings the type creates a lively shimmer from contrast and serifs, with punctuation and caps contributing to a dignified, traditional texture.
