A high-contrast serif with lively, calligraphic modeling and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a broad-nib feel: curved letters swell and taper naturally, and terminals often finish in subtle wedges or soft hooks rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are generously spaced with a slightly expansive set, while counters stay open and rounded, helping the forms feel clear at text sizes. Numerals match the letterforms with pronounced thick–thin rhythm and traditional shaping, including curving joins and serifed stems.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for refined branding, invitations, and display settings that benefit from a classical, literary character without feeling overly formal.
The tone is bookish and classical, with a warm, human presence rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Its contrast and crisp serifs give it a refined, editorial voice, while the gentle irregularities and tapered terminals add a crafted, historical flavor.
Likely drawn to evoke a traditional oldstyle reading experience with calligraphic warmth, combining crisp contrast with friendly proportions for comfortable, elegant text. The design appears aimed at producing a lively page color and a recognizable, cultured voice in headings and pull quotes.
Capitals carry a stately presence with broad curves (C, O, Q) and pronounced finishing strokes, and the lowercase shows a readable, oldstyle rhythm with softly modulated bowls and shoulders. The overall texture is dynamic—dark strokes create a confident line, balanced by airy counters and clear spacing.
