This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a slightly calligraphic, sculpted stroke flow. Uppercase forms are stately and moderately wide, with sharply tapered diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X) and compact joins that keep counters clear. The lowercase reads as traditional and robust, with rounded bowls, a two-storey a, and terminals that often finish in subtle teardrops or flared tips. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and pronounced contrast, integrating smoothly with text rhythms rather than sitting as uniform lining figures.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where contrast and serif definition support a polished texture. It also performs convincingly in display settings—chapter titles, pull quotes, and magazine headlines—where the sharp modulation and sculpted terminals can add sophistication. For branding, it fits identities aiming for heritage, authority, or cultured refinement.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed book typography and editorial seriousness. Its high-contrast sparkle and confident serifs give it a formal, slightly dramatic presence without becoming ornate.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif with an emphasis on refined contrast, strong serif articulation, and a readable, book-oriented rhythm. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an intention to harmonize figures with continuous text and maintain a traditional typographic voice.
The design maintains a steady cadence in running text, with clear word shapes and consistent serif logic across straight and curved strokes. Details like the curved leg on the uppercase R and the prominent, angled ear on the lowercase g add a traditional, slightly humanist character.
