A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Curves show diagonal stress (notably in O and C), while joins and terminals are smoothly tapered, giving the design a lively, handwritten-understructure feel despite its upright stance. Proportions are traditional and readable, with moderately open apertures and counters; lowercase forms are compact and steady, and capitals are stately without extreme width. Figures follow the same contrast and serif logic, with an oldstyle-leaning rhythm and elegant curvature in forms like 2, 3, and 5.
It suits novels, essays, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The refined contrast also works well for editorial layouts, academic materials, and formal print applications such as invitations or programs when set with comfortable spacing.
The font conveys a classic, bookish refinement—measured and authoritative, but with enough warmth from its calligraphic shaping to feel personable rather than rigid. It suggests tradition, scholarship, and careful editorial craft.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances classical proportions with an oldstyle, calligraphy-informed skeleton. Its goal seems to be reliable readability paired with a cultured, traditional tone appropriate for continuous reading and formal typography.
In text, the contrast and tapered serifs create a clear vertical rhythm and a slightly sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent roman style with distinctive, gently angled terminals and a well-defined, conventional ampersand.
