A classic serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letters show an oldstyle influence: rounded forms have a gentle diagonal stress, terminals are softly cupped, and joins are smoothly bracketed rather than sharp. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the drawing maintains a steady rhythm in text while allowing capitals a dignified presence. Figures appear lining-style with clear contrast and sturdy verticals, matching the text color and cadence of the roman.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial settings such as books, magazines, and cultural publications where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for formal invitations, institutional materials, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, classic voice—especially in headlines and pull quotes.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial and literary typography. Its high-contrast, carefully finished details lend a sense of seriousness and polish, while the slightly calligraphic shaping keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif with a literary pedigree, balancing strong contrast and polished detailing with familiar proportions for comfortable reading. Its shaping suggests an aim to deliver a dignified, classic typographic color that scales gracefully from text to display.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display and large text sizes, where the contrast and bracketed serifs read as crisp and elegant. Curved letters and diagonals (notably in the capitals and in numerals) show controlled modulation that reinforces a classic, print-oriented texture.
