A classic text serif with clear oldstyle influence and pronounced stroke modulation. The serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with crisp terminals and a slightly calligraphic flow through curves and joins. Proportions feel moderately compact with sturdy capitals and a balanced, readable lowercase; counters are open enough for text but retain a refined, bookish texture. Numerals harmonize with the letterforms, showing the same high-contrast rhythm and traditional detailing.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and other long-form editorial settings where a familiar serif texture and strong contrast are desirable. It also fits institutional or heritage-leaning branding, invitations, and formal communications that benefit from a classic, reputable voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its sharp, refined details and steady vertical stance convey seriousness and authority without feeling overly ornate.
Designed to deliver a conventional, high-contrast reading experience with traditional serif details and an even paragraph rhythm. The intent appears to prioritize literary familiarity, clarity, and typographic polish for sustained text and formal display lines.
Capitals present a dignified, inscription-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a steady, even cadence in paragraphs. Curved forms and diagonals show careful modulation, producing a crisp page color that reads as conventional and timeless rather than experimental.
