This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a slightly calligraphic, pen-informed axis. Capitals are stately and open, with generous interior space and sharply finished terminals; curves and joins feel clean rather than soft. Lowercase forms read traditional and bookish, with a compact, steady rhythm, moderate apertures, and a two-storey “g.” Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with clear ascenders/descenders and a softly sheared, drawn quality that matches the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and section heads, pairing effectively with a neutral sans for captions and UI-adjacent typography.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and institutional print. Its contrast and sharp serifs add formality and a sense of authority, while the subtly calligraphic details keep it from feeling mechanical.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary tone, combining classic proportions with high-contrast detailing for a polished, print-forward presence.
The design maintains a consistent contrast system across letters and figures, producing a crisp, high-definition color in text. Diacritics and extended character evidence is not shown; the visible set emphasizes conventional Latin letterforms and text-oriented numerals.
