A high-contrast serif with clear calligraphic modulation and gently flared stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and taper to fine points, giving terminals a sculpted, slightly sharpened look rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and open, with a moderate, bookish x-height, narrow-ish apertures, and a lively rhythm created by thin hairlines against sturdy verticals. Distinctive details include a swash-like tail on the capital Q, a curled descender on the lowercase g, and a single-storey a with a small ear, all contributing to a traditional, text-oriented texture.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also perform as a display face for headings, pull quotes, and refined brand marks, especially when printed at sizes that preserve the thin hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and classical, with an understated elegance suited to literary and institutional settings. Its sharp hairlines and graceful terminals add a sense of formality, while the warm, slightly oldstyle proportions keep it approachable in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic, print-rooted serif tradition with calligraphic influence, combining high-contrast refinement with subtly flared, bracketed endings for an elegant, authoritative voice.
In the sample text, the type forms a dark, authoritative paragraph color at larger sizes, with noticeable sparkle from the contrast. The numerals appear proportionally aligned with the text style, and the figure shapes lean traditional rather than geometric, reinforcing the historical, bookish character.
