A serif typeface with sturdy, slightly calligraphic construction and clear stroke modulation. The capitals show wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed serifs, with generous interior counters and a steady, readable rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and dark, with a tall x-height and rounded bowls; joins and terminals have a gently tapered, pen-influenced feel rather than rigid geometry. Numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders and descenders, contributing to a classic text color and lively baseline movement.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its tall x-height and sturdy serifs support clarity. It also works effectively for magazine typography, pull quotes, and refined headlines, and can lend a classic, credible voice to identity and packaging when paired with restrained layout systems.
The overall tone feels bookish and authoritative, with a traditional editorial presence. Its warmth and subtle calligraphic cues give it a human, cultivated character suited to refined, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with a contemporary steadiness—combining traditional serif cues and oldstyle numerals with a solid, even texture for modern editorial use.
The design maintains a consistent, slightly condensed vertical emphasis without feeling narrow, and it holds a strong color in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and confident, and the serif treatment is pronounced enough to signal tradition while staying clean and orderly.
