This serif typeface shows a traditional, calligraphic construction with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are broad and steady with sharp terminals and balanced, slightly cupped curves, while the lowercase maintains a moderate rhythm with compact joins and clear counters. The stroke contrast and fine hairlines give it a polished, print-oriented texture, and the overall spacing reads open enough for text while still feeling display-capable in larger sizes.
It suits long-form editorial typography such as book interiors and magazines, where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale packaging or identity work when set with comfortable sizes and leading.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a formal, literary presence. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing lend a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to traditional publishing and sophisticated branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-classic reading experience while providing enough contrast and sharpness to carry display roles. It prioritizes a familiar serif cadence, clear letterforms, and a refined finish consistent with editorial and literary settings.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with noticeable contrast and elegant curves, matching the serif language of the letters. The lowercase includes a two-storey “g” and single-storey “a,” contributing to a traditional text-face impression with a touch of personality.
