A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and carefully bracketed serifs that flare subtly as they meet the stems. Curves are smooth and controlled, with teardrop-like terminals and sharp, angled joins that give the outlines a clean, sculpted finish. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with moderate apertures and generous counters that keep text clear at reading sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style influence, including a distinctive, flowing 9 and an elegant 2 and 3 with tapered terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where contrast and refined serif detail can shine. It also performs strongly in display sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding where a classic, elevated character is beneficial.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition and authority without feeling heavy. It reads as literary and cultivated, suitable for settings where a classic voice and typographic refinement are desired.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a text-capable face that still carries distinctive, elegant personality in larger settings.
Uppercase forms show restrained classical construction with a pointed A, a wide, steady M, and a Q featuring a graceful tail. Lowercase details like the two-storey g, compact ear on r, and the lively, calligraphic stroke endings add warmth while maintaining a composed rhythm in paragraphs.
