This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a distinctly calligraphic stress. Serifs are finely bracketed and generally sharp, with tapered entry and exit strokes that keep counters open and edges crisp. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders. The numerals appear oldstyle, blending smoothly into running text rather than sitting as uniform-height lining figures.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classical serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and refined collateral—programs, invitations, and institutional materials—when an elegant, traditional tone is desired.
Overall, the design reads as cultivated and bookish, with a quiet formality that suggests print tradition. The high-contrast strokes and crisp terminals add a touch of elegance that feels at home in editorial and literary contexts.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a familiar, authoritative reading experience with a touch of sophistication. Its contrast and carefully shaped serifs suggest an intention to bridge text practicality with an editorial, print-forward elegance.
The lowercase includes a double-storey “g” and a two-storey “a”, reinforcing a conventional text-seriffed voice. Round letters like “O” and “Q” are smoothly modeled, and the “Q” tail is restrained, maintaining a composed texture in paragraphs. The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity and a consistent color for a contrasty serif, especially at display and comfortable text sizes.
