A crisp old-style serif with pronounced stroke modulation and finely bracketed serifs. Curves are gently organic rather than geometric, with slightly tapered terminals and a subtle calligraphic pull in joins and bowls. Proportions feel traditional, with compact lowercase and small counters that tighten the texture in running text, while capitals remain stately and open. Numerals follow the same text-like rhythm, mixing strong verticals with delicate hairlines for a composed, editorial color.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, and to editorial typography where a traditional, authoritative voice is needed. It can also serve for headlines and pull quotes when a classic, crafted feel is desired, and for premium packaging or branding that leans historical or literary.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, quietly elegant presence. Its calligraphic inflection adds warmth and human character, keeping it from feeling austere or mechanical. The result suggests seriousness and tradition without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to echo traditional book serifs with clear calligraphic influence, balancing elegance with steady text rhythm. It aims for a mature, authoritative texture while preserving warmth through humanist curves and bracketed serifs.
In the sample text the high-contrast strokes and small internal spaces create a dark, articulate page color, especially in dense settings. Diagonals and curved letters show careful modulation, and the serifs stay sharp and controlled, giving paragraphs a crisp edge while maintaining a natural, hand-informed rhythm.
