A calligraphic serif design with crisp, high-contrast strokes and subtly flared terminals that suggest a broad-nib influence. The capitals are stately and slightly sculpted, with wedge-like serifs and gently rounded joins that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Lowercase forms show a moderate, readable rhythm with open counters and compact, slightly tapered stems; ascenders are clean and upright, while descenders (notably in g, j, y) add a touch of motion through curved, calligraphic endings. Numerals are lining and proportionally varied, matching the serif treatment and contrast of the letters for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and article typography, and headline work where a classical, refined voice is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, crafted serif presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the stroke contrast and terminals read clearly.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, evoking editorial tradition and formal printed matter. Its calligraphic modulation and tapered details add a refined, human touch, leaning elegant rather than austere.
The design appears intended to bridge formal serif structure with a handwritten, calligraphic sensibility—delivering a dignified reading texture while retaining the liveliness of pen-influenced modulation and tapered finishing.
Spacing appears moderately open in text, helping the high contrast stay legible at display sizes, while the distinctive, slightly angled stress gives lines a lively cadence. The letterforms maintain consistent serif logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which supports a polished, curated feel.
