A calligraphic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and slightly swelling, with tapered joins that create a crisp, inked look. Capitals are broad and dignified, with sculpted terminals and occasional inward hooks, while lowercase forms keep a compact, readable rhythm and a moderate x-height. Numerals follow the same oldstyle logic, mixing rounded bowls and angled cuts for a cohesive text color.
Works best for headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and branding where a classic, crafted serif voice is desired. It can also support short passages in print-style layouts, particularly when generous spacing is available to let the contrast and serifs breathe.
The tone is formal and bookish, evoking traditional printing and pen-influenced lettering rather than a strictly mechanical serif. Its contrast and shaped terminals add a refined, slightly decorative elegance that feels suited to heritage and editorial contexts.
Likely intended to blend calligraphic personality with the conventions of a traditional serif, offering a stately, print-inspired voice that reads as both classic and slightly ornamental. The shaped terminals and high contrast appear designed to add flair without resorting to connected script forms.
The design emphasizes strong silhouettes and clear internal counters, producing a confident presence at display sizes while remaining structured enough for short text. Letterforms show subtle individuality from glyph to glyph—especially in terminals and joins—reinforcing a hand-influenced, crafted character.
