A calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a gently modulated stroke flow and slightly tapered terminals, giving curves a lively, drawn quality rather than rigid geometry. Proportions feel generous and open, with rounded bowls and comfortable interior spaces; capitals read sturdy and formal while lowercase maintains an organic, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same old-style influence, with varying widths and subtle curvature that keeps the texture animated in text.
Well suited for editorial typography such as books, longform articles, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or institutional branding that benefits from a classic, crafted voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a warm, human presence. Its crisp contrast and sharpened serifs add a touch of ceremony, while the calligraphic modulation keeps it approachable and traditional rather than austere. Overall it feels suited to historically minded, editorial, and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret old-style, humanist serif principles with clear contrast and a calligraphic hand, aiming for readability and an established, literary character. Its shaping prioritizes warm rhythm and recognizable, traditional forms that hold up in continuous text while still offering presence at larger sizes.
In paragraph settings the face builds a strong, dark typographic color, with distinctive diagonals and gently flared joins that help differentiate forms at display and text sizes. The caps have a slightly monumental stance, while the lowercase keeps a steady baseline rhythm and clear word shapes.
