A calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently flared, tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and a soft, slightly organic rhythm, with rounded bowls and subtly angled stress. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately and open, while lowercase shapes are compact and steady, with a single‑storey a and g and modest ascenders/descenders. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders to blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to editorial design and bookish typography where a classic, high-contrast texture is desirable. It also works for invitations, menus, and premium branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional voice without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is formal yet approachable, evoking classic print and hand‑tooled writing rather than strict mechanical precision. It feels literary and composed, with a gentle, human warmth that keeps it from looking sterile.
The design appears intended to capture a formal calligraphic serif feel—high contrast, tapered strokes, and traditional proportions—aiming for an elegant reading experience with a subtly hand-influenced personality.
The texture in paragraphs is lively due to the contrast and tapered joins, and the curves remain smooth and controlled rather than ornate. Counters are generally open, supporting readability while retaining a distinctly traditional character.
