A high-contrast serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and subtly modulated strokes that suggest broad-nib calligraphy. Curves show a soft diagonal stress and slightly open apertures, while terminals often finish with a small flare or wedge. The proportions feel human and readable, with a moderate x-height, relatively tall ascenders, and compact, well-controlled bowls that keep text color even. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the face’s bookish rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and humanist proportions produce an inviting, traditional texture. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional communications that want a classic, authoritative presence without becoming overly austere.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, humanist texture rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Its crisp contrast and refined serifs give it a formal, scholarly voice, while the slightly irregular, ink-influenced details keep it approachable and organic.
Designed to deliver a traditional reading experience with calligraphic nuance: crisp contrast, comfortable proportions, and serifs that guide the eye along the line. The matching oldstyle numerals reinforce the intent to function as a cohesive text face for narrative and editorial typography.
In text, the face holds a steady rhythm with clear differentiation between similar forms and a restrained, traditional character set. The joins and serifs create a slightly “printed” impression—clean at display sizes, with enough modulation to keep longer passages from feeling flat.
