A serif typeface with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, old-style skeleton. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with wedge-like terminals appearing on several strokes and diagonals. Curves show a diagonal stress and moderate, humanist proportions, while joins and corners stay crisp rather than overly rounded. The lowercase uses compact, readable forms with a two-storey “g” and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and other long-form reading contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communication materials that benefit from a classic, print-oriented texture.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an academic, literary flavor that suggests traditional print typography. Its high-contrast stroke behavior and sharpened terminals add a touch of formality and authority without becoming austere.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, calligraphy-informed serif for continuous reading, balancing refined contrast and crisp details with humanist warmth and familiar proportions.
In text, the face produces a dark, steady color with clear word shapes, while the sharper terminals and contrast give headings extra snap. Numerals appear lining and relatively narrow, aligning neatly with the typographic seriousness of the letterforms.
