This serif features bracketed serifs and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic construction with noticeable thick–thin modulation. Capitals are stately and vertically oriented, with crisp hairlines and fuller stems; several letters show subtly flared terminals and curved, tapered joins. Lowercase forms are compact and lively, with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a distinctive “f” and “j” that use curved descenders. Numerals are proportional and stylized, with varied widths and soft curls in figures like 2, 3, 6, and 9 that echo the font’s calligraphic rhythm.
Well-suited for book jackets, magazine headlines, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice with personality is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for heritage or literary cues, and for short-to-medium text settings where the high-contrast detailing remains clear.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with an editorial seriousness tempered by a touch of decorative flair. Its high-contrast strokes and expressive terminals convey a refined, bookish voice that can read as classic, slightly old-world, and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with more expressive, calligraphic finishing than a purely utilitarian text face. Its distinctive lowercase and stylized numerals suggest an emphasis on character and display presence while retaining a composed, readable structure.
Rhythm is moderately tight and text color is strong, aided by sturdy verticals and compact counters. The design leans on distinctive details—especially in the lowercase and numerals—creating a recognizable texture that stands out in display sizes while still holding together as continuous text.
