A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are round and full, while joins and terminals show sharp, tapered endings that create a lively, sculpted silhouette. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly wide, with traditional proportions and pronounced serifs; lowercase maintains a readable, bookish rhythm with open counters and a two-storey a and g. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in spirit (curved, serifed forms) and harmonize well with the text color.
This face suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable, and it also performs well for display roles such as chapter titles, pull quotes, and magazine headings. The pronounced contrast and crisp serifs can lend formality to invitations, certificates, and institutional communications.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial and literary settings rather than utilitarian UI. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a sense of ceremony and authority, with a slightly classic, old-world warmth in the curves.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and carefully shaped serifs to deliver a classic printed-page feel. Its balanced proportions and traditional forms suggest a focus on timeless editorial usability with a touch of elegance for display moments.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation and pointed terminals add sparkle and texture, especially in larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a roman with gently calligraphic detailing rather than geometric construction.
