A high-contrast serif with a calligraphic, old-style backbone and crisp hairlines that taper to fine points. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with stroke endings that show subtle nib-like modulation and occasional ink-trap notches at joins. Proportions lean traditional: compact lowercase with a short x-height, tall ascenders, and relatively large capitals that read stately in display sizes. Curves are lively and slightly asymmetric, giving counters an organic rhythm rather than geometric regularity; numerals appear old-style with varied heights and lively terminals.
Well suited to editorial typography—book and magazine titles, chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headings where the high contrast and traditional proportions can shine. It can also serve for premium packaging or heritage branding where a classic serif voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bookish and classical, with an antique, print-era polish. Its sharp contrast and refined details project formality and tradition, while the mild irregularities and calligraphic cues keep it warm and human rather than coldly mechanical.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional letterpress-era serif typography with a humanist, calligraphic sensibility, combining strong verticals and fine hairlines with lively curves for a distinctly classic reading voice.
In running text the fine hairlines and tight interior details create a textured page color, and the cap-to-lowercase scale contrast is noticeable. The design emphasizes crisp joins and delicate terminals, which can look especially elegant at larger sizes but may feel busy if pushed too small or used over complex backgrounds.
