This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clearly calligraphic stroke modulation. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with sharp terminals and a traditional, oldstyle construction in forms like C, G, and S, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height with relatively tall ascenders and descenders for an elegant vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and tensioned, joins are clean, and the overall color stays even despite the strong thick–thin transitions. The numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and pronounced contrast that matches the letterforms.
It suits book typography, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. At larger sizes it can also work for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning formal and refined rather than casual. It suggests traditional publishing and cultural institutions, with a composed, slightly old-world elegance.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, print-oriented serif with classical proportions and lively contrast, balancing readability with a dignified, cultured presence.
Spacing feels measured and texty, supporting continuous reading while still showing a delicate, display-capable sparkle in larger sizes. The ampersand and the swash-like cap A add a mild decorative note without shifting the design into overt ornamentation.
