A refined serif with calligraphic modulation and clear thick–thin contrast, built on softly tapered stems and bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and relatively wide, with generous curves in C, G, and O and a distinctive, sweeping Q tail. Lowercase forms are compact with a noticeably short x-height, open bowls, and gently angled stress; ascenders are prominent and the overall rhythm feels slightly uneven in an organic, text-face way rather than strictly mechanical. Numerals appear old-style with varying heights and descenders, matching the text color and stroke behavior of the lowercase.
Well suited for book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and a refined texture are desired. It can also support titles, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations, especially when an established, scholarly tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial polish and historical continuity rather than modern minimalism. Its lively modulation and traditional proportions give it a cultured, literary voice suited to long-form reading and formal settings.
Designed to evoke a traditional reading experience with an old-style, calligraphic foundation and a slightly lively rhythm. The intention appears to balance elegance and readability, pairing expressive details with consistent text color for continuous prose.
In the sample text, the short x-height and pronounced contrast create an elegant page color, while the sturdy serifs help maintain clarity at text sizes. The letterspacing reads comfortable and the shapes favor warmth over strict geometric regularity, with a few expressive details (notably the Q and the flowing curves on rounded letters).
