This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke modulation with clear calligraphic stress and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Capitals are crisp and stately with sharp apexes (notably in A and W) and balanced, open bowls, while the lowercase combines compact, traditional forms with a slightly lively rhythm. Curves transition into stems with smooth bracketing, and terminals often finish in subtle teardrops and flicks, giving counters a warm, bookish texture. The numerals appear in oldstyle (text) figures with ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a text-first, classical construction.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where high-contrast serifs and traditional proportions support an authoritative voice. It also works well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or literary branding where a classic, established impression is desired.
Overall it feels traditional and literary, with a composed, scholarly tone rather than a stark modern one. The high contrast and tapered details add refinement and a sense of print-era elegance suitable for serious, curated content.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances formal capitalization with a warmer, humanist lowercase for comfortable, traditional typography.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The design favors a slightly organic, humanist cadence in the lowercase (two-storey a and g, gently tapered joins), while the capitals maintain a more formal, engraved presence.
