A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge serifs that feel lightly calligraphic rather than mechanical. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows oldstyle cues such as a two‑storey “a,” an angled crossbar on “e,” and a gently earred “g,” giving the text a lively, human rhythm. Numerals share the same contrast and serif shaping, with a slightly traditional, bookish presence and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also work for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral when you want a classic, elevated tone without excessive decoration.
The overall tone is classic and literary—confident, composed, and slightly traditional. Its crisp contrast and shaped terminals add a sense of refinement suited to serious or cultured contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a classical underpinning, balancing strong contrast and crisp serifs with enough warmth in the lowercase to keep continuous reading comfortable.
In paragraph setting the face reads with a smooth baseline flow and noticeable internal movement from the contrast and subtly varying stroke widths. Round letters (o, e, c) stay open and clear, and the serifs help guide the eye across longer lines without feeling overly ornate.
