A high-contrast serif with crisp thick–thin modulation and subtly sculpted, bracketed serifs. Terminals often finish in rounded, ball-like or teardrop forms (notably in letters like a, c, f, and y), giving the face a slightly ornamental, calligraphic finish without becoming overly decorative. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, counters are open, and the overall rhythm feels text-oriented, with sturdy verticals and refined joins. The figures follow the same contrast and terminal logic, with a distinctive, slightly oldstyle flavor in shapes like 2, 3, and 9.
Well-suited to editorial work such as magazines, books, essays, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and cultured branding—especially in contexts that benefit from high-contrast refinement and distinctive terminals.
The tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its refined contrast and soft terminal details add a gentle elegance and a hint of vintage character, making it feel both formal and personable rather than starkly modern.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic, oldstyle-leaning serif for contemporary use by pairing strong contrast and dependable text proportions with more expressive, rounded terminal details. The goal seems to be a readable, literary face that carries a recognizable, slightly decorative signature in display settings.
The uppercase shows steady, stately proportions and clean serifs, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved strokes and prominent terminal shaping. At larger sizes the terminal details read as a signature feature, contributing to a mildly ornamental texture.
