A high-contrast serif with distinctly bracketed serifs and a lively, calligraphic modulation. The capitals are sturdy and relatively wide, with sharp, wedge-like finishing and a slightly varied rhythm across letters. Lowercase shows a short x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders, plus tapered terminals and gently irregular curves that give the texture a hand-cut feel without becoming rough. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and prominent bowls, reinforcing an editorial, bookish color in text.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and print-forward branding where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages that benefit from crisp contrast and a historic tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a slightly storybook, old-world warmth. Its energetic curves and crisp serif detailing feel traditional rather than mechanical, lending a refined but personable voice for longer reading and heritage-flavored display.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, old-style reading experience with added character in the curves and terminals. It balances conventional serif construction with expressive details to provide a distinctive, literary voice for both text and display.
Stroke joins and inner counters often narrow noticeably, creating sparkle and strong black–white contrast in words. Several lowercase forms lean into expressive terminals and asymmetric curves, giving lines a subtly animated cadence that stands out more at larger sizes.
