A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and crisp terminals. Strokes transition from thin hairlines to sturdier stems, giving letters a sculpted, engraved feel without becoming brittle. Proportions are moderately wide with noticeable glyph-to-glyph variation, and the counters stay open and clean for text use. The lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented construction (two-storey a and g, compact e, and a long-tailed y), while capitals are stately and evenly balanced with pointed apexes and confident verticals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and crisp serifs create a familiar, comfortable text color. It also performs strongly for chapter titles, pull quotes, and magazine headlines that want a traditional, polished voice, and it can lend formality to invitations and institutional materials.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels established and trustworthy. Its contrast and sharp serifs add formality and refinement, suggesting tradition rather than trend.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with practicality: pronounced contrast and sharp serifs for refinement, paired with open counters and steady proportions for sustained readability.
Numerals follow the same oldstyle-inspired text rhythm, with clear contrast and sturdy bases that read well at display sizes. The italic is not shown; the samples reflect a consistent upright texture with a steady baseline and controlled spacing.
