A wide, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a distinctly oldstyle, calligraphic flow. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation with softened joins and gently tapered endings, giving forms a carved, bookish character rather than a sharp, modern one. The proportions are expansive with generous internal space and open counters; bowls and arches feel rounded and slightly organic. Numerals and lowercase show sturdy, readable shapes with noticeable curves and subtly varied widths that create a lively rhythm in text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The breadth and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that need a traditional, premium feel while remaining legible.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and established institutions. Its calm, confident presence reads as authoritative without feeling rigid, with just enough warmth from the calligraphic modeling to feel human and crafted.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an oldstyle-influenced, crafted finish—balancing readability with a distinctive, wide, high-contrast silhouette for confident editorial presence.
In text, the wide set and pronounced contrast create strong word shapes and a prominent typographic color, especially at larger sizes. Curved terminals and bracket transitions keep the design from looking mechanical, while the crisp serifs help maintain structure and readability.
