A high-contrast serif with bracketed terminals and a distinctly calligraphic, old-style construction. Curves are full and slightly swelling, while joins and serifs taper to fine points, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. Capitals have generous, rounded bowls and clear modulation, and the lowercase shows traditional proportions with softly angled stress, open counters, and moderately long extenders. Overall spacing reads even and readable, with enough stroke contrast to feel refined without becoming brittle in the sample text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also holds up for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a classic, print-forward texture.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, human touch that feels rooted in printed tradition. Its lively modulation and softly shaped serifs suggest editorial seriousness while remaining approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading experience with a humanist, calligraphy-influenced rhythm—balancing elegance from strong contrast with warmth from rounded forms and bracketed serifs.
Details like the sharp, tapered feet on letters such as V/W and the delicately notched transitions in S and C add sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, blending naturally with text and titling rather than feeling purely utilitarian.
