A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply defined hairlines and stronger vertical stems, producing a clear vertical stress and an elegant page color. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with neatly finished terminals that feel precise rather than blunt. Uppercase proportions are stately and open, while lowercase forms keep a readable, traditional rhythm with modestly sized counters and a steady baseline. Numerals follow an oldstyle pattern (with varying heights and extenders), reinforcing a bookish texture and a classical text feel.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery where the high contrast and oldstyle numerals contribute a traditional, elegant voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a calm authority suited to formal communication. Its contrast and fine detailing give it a refined, slightly dressy character that reads as literary and editorial rather than utilitarian.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes classical proportions, refined contrast, and a polished typographic rhythm. The inclusion of oldstyle figures and the disciplined serif treatment suggest a focus on traditional publishing and formal composition.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent, disciplined modulation that holds up well at display and comfortable reading sizes. Round letters stay smooth and controlled, and joins and serifs maintain a consistent sharpness across the set.
