This typeface presents a calligraphic serif look with pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently flared, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, while joins and terminals often taper to sharp points, giving strokes a cut-pen or chiseled feel. Proportions run on the wider side with open counters and a steady baseline; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height and lively, slightly irregular stroke rhythm that reads as hand-formed rather than purely mechanical.
It works well for headlines, chapter titles, pull quotes, and cover typography where a classic, crafted voice is desired. The strong contrast and tapered details also suit invitations, certificates, and heritage-leaning branding, especially when set with generous spacing and used at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is formal and classical, with a literary, bookish character that suggests tradition and craft. Its sharp, tapered terminals and elegant contrast add a subtle ceremonial flair, making it feel more expressive than a typical text serif while still remaining composed and readable.
The design appears intended to bridge formal calligraphic construction with familiar serif readability, offering a traditional tone with visible hand influence. Its wide proportions and crisp modulation aim to create an elegant, high-impact page color for display and editorial settings.
The numerals and caps appear especially stately and spacious, while the lowercase introduces more movement through angled stress and tapered entry/exit strokes. In longer sample text, the contrast and pointed details create a crisp texture that favors comfortable sizes over very small settings.
