A serif typeface with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and slightly elastic, with tapered terminals and a gently calligraphic stroke logic that shows through in letters like C, S, and the lowercases. Proportions feel open and comfortable, with a moderate x-height, clear ascenders, and a rhythmic, bookish texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast, sculpted treatment, keeping the overall color crisp without becoming mechanical.
Well suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand systems that need a traditional yet lively typographic anchor.
The font conveys a traditional, cultured tone—literary and slightly old-world—while staying approachable due to its human, handwritten undertone. It reads as refined and editorial rather than stark or technical, suited to content that benefits from elegance and authority.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a visible calligraphic influence, aiming for a readable, elegant texture that carries personality without sacrificing composure. Its forms balance crisp contrast with warm shaping to support both immersive reading and confident display use.
In the text sample, spacing and forms create a steady, readable cadence, with distinctive character in the italics-like shaping of certain terminals and the subtle flare of serifs. The contrast and sharp joins give it a polished presence at display sizes, while the warm modulation helps maintain readability in longer passages.
