A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty verticals, and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, traditional feel. Curves are smooth and slightly generous, with subtly tapered terminals and a disciplined, upright construction. The lowercase shows an oldstyle inclination in its proportions and details—compact bowls, a two-storey “g,” and lively, slightly asymmetrical joins—while capitals remain stately and well-centered. Numerals appear to include oldstyle forms, reinforcing a bookish rhythm in running text.
This face suits headlines and subheads in magazines, newspapers, and longform editorial layouts where a classic voice is desired. It also works well for book jackets, chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal communications such as invitations or programs, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and polish without feeling ornamental. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing suggest sophistication and tradition, suitable for serious, cultured messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-friendly serif that balances traditional proportions with dramatic contrast for strong presence on the page. Its detailing suggests a focus on elegant typography for editorial and display contexts rather than purely utilitarian UI text.
In text, the contrast creates a bright, textured line with pronounced vertical emphasis, while the serifs help maintain a steady baseline and clear word shapes. The design reads confidently at display sizes, where the hairlines and bracket transitions become a defining feature.
