A serif face with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals are stately with slightly irregular, calligraphic tapering at terminals, while the lowercase shows a compact x-height and open counters that keep the texture readable. Curves and joins exhibit gentle, hand-influenced shaping rather than strict geometry, and spacing feels moderately generous, producing a calm, even rhythm in words. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with clear, slightly expressive terminals.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a classical texture and strong contrast are desirable. It also works effectively for magazine features, essays, and cultured titling where a traditional, refined voice is needed, and can lend a formal tone to stationery or invitations when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed pages and editorial typography. Its lively stroke endings add a human, crafted character without becoming decorative, giving it a confident, formal presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret old-style, calligraphy-influenced serif forms with a more dramatic contrast and crisp detailing, balancing readability with an elevated, print-classic character.
The face shows subtle variation in stroke endings and serif treatment across letters, which adds warmth and texture in continuous text. The combination of crisp hairlines and firm verticals creates a refined look that favors comfortable sizes over extremely small reproduction.
