This serif typeface shows strongly modulated strokes with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and tapered terminals. Serifs are mostly bracketed and slightly flared, with a subtly calligraphic feel rather than rigid geometry. The letterforms have generous, open counters and a steady, upright stance, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively texture across a line. Lowercase proportions lean toward a modest x-height with prominent ascenders, and detailing in joins and curves (especially in S, a, e, and g) reinforces an ink-on-paper character.
It will perform well in editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where a nuanced, traditional voice is desired. The strong contrast and distinctive capitals also make it suitable for headlines, titling, and branding applications that benefit from a classic, crafted tone.
Overall it reads as traditional and bookish, with a human, hand-influenced warmth that feels editorial rather than corporate. The energetic contrast and tapered finishing add a slightly dramatic, crafted tone—suited to text with personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to reinterpret old-style, calligraphic serif conventions with heightened stroke modulation and expressive finishing. Its variable character widths and tapered details suggest an aim to create a lively, organic reading texture while maintaining a dependable, upright structure.
In sample text, the spacing and rhythm produce a textured, slightly rustic page color, with capitals carrying strong presence and distinctive silhouettes. The numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, giving them a classic, print-oriented feel.
