A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, calligraphic stress with tapered joins and neatly cut terminals that stay sharp even in heavier strokes. Proportions feel generously set with ample internal space in rounds like O and C, while verticals and stems remain sturdy; overall spacing reads open and steady for text. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-influenced rhythm, mixing strong verticals with delicate hairlines and slightly varied widths.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine typography, where its classic rhythm and clear serif structure support comfortable reading. It also performs strongly for headings, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast voice. In layouts, it pairs naturally with restrained sans serifs for captions or navigation while taking the lead in primary text and titles.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting authority and polish without feeling ornamental. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest a cultured, bookish voice suited to serious writing and heritage-leaning branding. The texture on the page feels dignified and confident, leaning more traditional than contemporary.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented serif that prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition. Its high contrast, bracketed serifs, and disciplined proportions aim to deliver a refined page texture for editorial work while retaining enough character in details to stand out in display use.
Uppercase forms appear stately and balanced, with distinctive wedge-like serifs and clean, tapering diagonals in letters like V, W, and Y. Lowercase shows a sturdy, readable structure with lively details (notably in a, g, and y) that add typographic character while maintaining an even reading rhythm across lines. The font’s contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, elegant color in large sizes and a more textured, dramatic presence as paragraphs build.
