A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show diagonal stress and tapered joins, with crisp serifs that often flare into pointed tips rather than flat slabs. Proportions feel traditional, with a relatively short x-height and lively, slightly varied letter widths that create a textured color in paragraphs. Curves are generous and round, while diagonals and arms end in sharp, chiselled-looking finishes, giving the outlines a refined but energetic edge.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic voice is desired, including book interiors, magazines, and long-form reading at comfortable sizes. The strong contrast and pointed terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, refined serif presence.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a warm, human touch that reads as traditional rather than mechanical. It feels poised and cultured—suited to conveying heritage, seriousness, and editorial confidence without becoming overly formal.
Likely intended to deliver an old-style, calligraphy-informed reading experience with crisp, elegant detailing and a distinctly traditional silhouette. The design emphasizes a lively rhythm and classic proportions, balancing readability with a polished, heritage-forward character.
Capitals appear dignified and slightly wide in stance, while the lowercase maintains strong differentiation and crisp detailing at small features like hooks and terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and look designed to sit comfortably alongside text rather than as purely display figures.
