A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Stems transition from thick to thin with smooth curves and tapered terminals, while round letters show a moderate diagonal stress. Proportions feel traditional rather than geometric, with generous, open counters and a steady text rhythm; capitals are stately and slightly narrower than the lowercase’s more flowing forms. Numerals follow the same contrasty, bookish logic, with rounded figures like 8 and 9 showing pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Well-suited for book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and strong readability are needed. It can also support formal communications—programs, invitations, and institutional materials—especially at text and intermediate display sizes where its contrast and classic proportions read clearly.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, authoritative, and comfortable in long-form reading. Its crisp contrast and traditional detailing suggest a cultivated, editorial voice rather than a modernist or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a refined, heritage character. Its calligraphic shaping and bracketed serifs aim to provide an elegant page color and a trustworthy, established typographic voice.
Serif details are refined and consistently bracketed, supporting smooth horizontal flow in paragraphs. The lowercase shows lively shaping (notably in a, e, g, and y), lending warmth and a subtly humanist feel while maintaining a formal presence.
