A high-contrast serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a crisp, calligraphic modulation from thick verticals to fine hairlines. Capitals are stately and wide-set with generous inner counters, while the lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented proportions with a two-storey a and g, a compact e with a sharp crossbar, and a softly cupped, left-leaning tail on y. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean and pointed rather than blunt, and spacing reads even, giving the face a balanced, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, with open shapes and elegant tapering that keeps figures clear at display and text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the steady rhythm and open counters support comfortable scanning. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography, delivering a polished, traditional voice for cultural, academic, and premium brand contexts.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and institutional communication. Its sharp hairlines and poised serifs convey formality and confidence, while the rounded bowls and steady rhythm keep it approachable and readable.
The font appears designed to provide a dependable, conventional serif voice with elevated contrast and refined detailing. Its intention is to balance classic readability with an upscale finish for editorial and institutional typography.
The design leans toward an oldstyle-influenced color with modern crispness: diagonal joins and tapered strokes add liveliness without becoming decorative. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, emphasizing upright, composed letterforms with a consistent serif vocabulary across caps, lowercase, and figures.
