A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and generously open, while terminals often finish in tapered, wedge-like cuts that add crispness. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide in stance, with rounded forms (C, O, Q) showing clear contrast and controlled stress. Lowercase has traditional, text-oriented proportions with a two-storey a and g, sturdy vertical stems, and compact joins that keep words cohesive; numerals follow the same oldstyle-influenced rhythm with varied widths and strong contrast.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve as a dependable choice for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes when a formal, traditional tone is appropriate. The numerals and overall contrast make it a natural fit for print-forward work such as journals, programs, and reports.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a literary, editorial flavor. High contrast and sharp serifs lend a refined, formal voice suited to established institutions and classic publishing. Despite the elegance, the shapes remain familiar and readable, projecting calm confidence rather than overt stylization.
