This serif shows clear stroke modulation with a traditional, bookish structure and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded terminals and a steady baseline rhythm; the capitals feel stately and fairly broad while remaining well balanced. Lowercase forms read as oldstyle-influenced, with a two-storey “g,” a modestly angled stress, and gently tapered joins that reinforce the high-contrast, pen-derived feel. Numerals are lining-style in appearance, with varied widths and elegant curves that match the text face’s modulation.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazines, where its classic proportions and modulated strokes produce a familiar, comfortable text color. It also scales nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional print typography and editorial settings. It feels authoritative without being severe, leaning more toward literary refinement than sharp modernism.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that channels historical, calligraphic construction while staying clean and versatile for contemporary typesetting. Its balance of contrast, open counters, and measured serifs suggests a focus on readability with a distinctly classic character.
Distinctive details include a calligraphic tail on “Q,” a slightly sweeping “y,” and crisp, confident serifs that stay readable at text sizes. The face maintains an even texture in paragraphs while still showing enough contrast to add sparkle in display lines.
