A crisp serif design with strong thick–thin modulation, narrow proportions, and a noticeably calligraphic, slightly organic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and taper to sharp terminals, giving strokes a carved, inked feel rather than a mechanical one. Counters are moderately tight and the color is lively, with pronounced contrast in curves and joins; capitals read stately and compact while lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey a and g and a gently angled stress.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine interiors, and literary branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for display and headlines, where the narrow fit and contrast deliver a refined, high-impact presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a confident, old-world formality. Its sharp terminals and high contrast add drama and refinement, while the calligraphic influence keeps it from feeling cold or overly rigid.
Likely intended to evoke an old-style, print-forward sensibility with calligraphic warmth while maintaining a crisp, high-contrast finish. The design balances compact economy with expressive stroke modulation to create a distinctive, traditional reading texture.
Figures are compact and stylized, matching the letterforms’ contrast and taper; they feel suited to running text rather than utilitarian UI numerals. The narrow set and energetic stroke contrast create a distinctive texture that can look elegant at larger sizes and more intense in dense paragraphs.
