This serif typeface shows clear stroke modulation with pronounced thick–thin contrast and smooth, bracketed serifs. Curves carry a gently calligraphic, oldstyle rhythm with diagonal stress visible in rounded forms like O and C. Uppercase proportions are traditional and slightly varied in width, while the lowercase features compact, rounded bowls and tapered joins; the a is double-storey and the g is single-storey. Numerals are lining with sculpted forms and noticeable modulation, matching the overall text color and cadence.
It performs well for continuous reading in editorial layouts such as books, magazines, essays, and reports, where its contrast and bracketed serifs provide clear word shapes. It can also serve for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal communications when a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial feel suited to traditional typography. Its contrast and serif shaping add a sense of refinement and authority without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif with a historically informed, calligraphic underpinning—balancing readability with a polished, traditional character.
Counters are moderately open and terminals tend to taper into subtle hooks or teardrop-like endings, helping maintain a lively texture in text. Spacing appears even and comfortable in the sample paragraphs, producing a steady, bookish rhythm.
