A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and smooth, tapered stroke modulation. The capitals are stately and fairly wide, with sharp, clean terminals and a balanced, traditional construction. Lowercase forms show clear, oldstyle-style movement in the curves, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” open counters, and moderate ascenders/descenders that keep lines readable while still feeling elegant. Numerals match the text rhythm, with strong verticals and rounded bowls that maintain the same contrast and serif treatment.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively in headings, pull quotes, and formal communications where a refined, traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast lend an authoritative, slightly formal voice, while the rounded joins keep it from feeling brittle.
Designed to deliver a familiar, print-oriented reading experience with a refined serif vocabulary and confident contrast. The intent appears to be versatility across text sizes while maintaining a distinctly classic, literary character.
Spacing appears even and text color is steady in paragraph settings, with distinct letterforms that support comfortable scanning. Diagonals (like in V/W/X/Y) are clean and angular, and curves (C/G/O/Q) are smooth and controlled, reinforcing a composed, conventional texture.
