A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a crisp, calligraphic modulation. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with tapered terminals and occasional beak-like ends on letters such as c, e, and t. Proportions feel generous and somewhat extended, with round characters staying open and wide, while verticals remain firm and straight. The lowercase shows a two-storey a, a compact two-storey g, and a strong, slightly cupped serif treatment on stems that gives a subtly engraved texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headlines and display lines that benefit from high-contrast detail and a refined, traditional texture.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, evoking book typography and established print design. Its high-contrast sparkle and sculpted details lend a refined, slightly dramatic voice that reads as authoritative and literary rather than casual or utilitarian.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a classic reading experience with an elevated, print-oriented feel, balancing conventional proportions with lively, calligraphic detailing to keep paragraphs and headings visually articulate.
In the text sample, the design creates a noticeable light–dark rhythm: thin joins and hairline serifs add brightness, while the heavier main strokes anchor lines. Numerals appear lining and fairly open, with clear differentiation and a classic, oldstyle flavor to curves and terminals.
