This serif shows sharply tapered, calligraphic stroke modulation with pronounced thick–thin contrast and delicately bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with teardrop-like terminals and finely pointed joins that give bowls and diagonals a sculpted, engraved feel. Proportions lean toward a traditional book face: moderate x-height, generous ascenders, and compact, neatly finished serifs that keep the texture crisp at display sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a classical typographic rhythm.
It suits magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, book titling, and refined headlines where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. The oldstyle numerals and classical proportions also make it a strong choice for invitations, programs, and other formal print materials that benefit from a traditional voice.
Overall, the tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting editorial authority and a touch of old-world elegance. The high-contrast drawing and refined terminals add a formal, slightly dramatic voice without feeling flashy or ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic, bookish serif tradition with lively high-contrast modulation and carefully shaped terminals, aiming for a refined reading texture and an elegant, authoritative presence in display and editorial settings.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman and upright. Spacing in the sample text reads even and measured, producing a consistent, bookish color with clear word shapes and lively, tapering details in letters like a, e, s, and g.
