A finely drawn serif with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and gently flared, with a calligraphic rhythm that shows in the angled stress of round forms and the slightly sculpted terminals. Capitals feel stately and open, with generous internal space; the lowercase is compact with modest ascenders and restrained bowls, giving text a tidy, controlled texture. Numerals are elegant and old-fashioned in spirit, with varied widths and a lightly mannered curve in forms like the 2 and 9.
This design fits well for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, especially in print-like layouts. It also performs nicely for headings, pull quotes, invitations, and identity work that benefits from a classic, cultivated tone and detailed stroke contrast.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying quiet authority rather than display exuberance. It reads as refined and traditional, suited to settings that want a sense of heritage, education, or editorial polish.
The letterforms suggest an intention to modernize an old-style serif tradition with clean, high-clarity outlines and a measured calligraphic feel. It appears designed to balance elegance and readability, offering a composed text texture while retaining enough detail for tasteful display use.
In continuous text, the font maintains an even color while letting sharp joins and thin hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. The ampersand and several capitals show a slightly formal, engraved sensibility, while the lowercase keeps a warm, human cadence through subtle curvature and tapering.
