A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharply bracketed serifs, and a lively, slightly calligraphic stroke rhythm. The forms lean on broad, rounded bowls and relatively narrow joins, with frequent beak-like terminals and teardrop/ball finishing on several lowercase letters. Uppercase characters read stately and compact with crisp wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curled terminals and expressive entry/exit strokes. Numerals are old-style in feel, with varied widths and noticeable modulation that matches the text face.
Well suited to headlines, titles, book covers, and editorial layouts where strong contrast and expressive serif details can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a traditional or vintage voice, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, blending editorial seriousness with a decorative, old-world flourish. It feels confident and traditional, with enough personality in the terminals and curves to suggest vintage publishing, packaging, or period-inspired design.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and distinctive terminals for added character. It aims to bridge readable, print-like proportions with decorative cues that give the text a period or literary flavor.
The face maintains a consistent contrast and serif logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures, but the lowercase adds more distinctive, swashy details that become especially apparent at display sizes. Counters are fairly generous, supporting strong word shapes despite the ornamental terminals.
