This serif has a high-contrast, sculpted construction with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes that subtly broaden into flared terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like rather than slabby, giving joins a carved, calligraphic feel. The round letters show an oblique stress, and curves resolve into sharp, tapered endings; diagonals (V, W, Y) are clean and pointed. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and a two-storey g; figures appear lining with strong contrast and lively, tapered details.
It works well for book typography and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs nicely in headlines thanks to its sharp, sculpted details. The refined contrast and flared terminals can support premium branding, cultural or academic materials, and formal announcements when set with thoughtful spacing and size.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance. Its sharp terminals and flared endings add a sense of craft and formality, lending it a confident, established voice suited to premium typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model by emphasizing contrast, bracketed wedges, and subtly flared stroke endings for a crafted, authoritative texture. It balances conventional proportions with expressive terminals to stay readable while feeling distinctive in display and editorial use.
The design reads best when given a bit of space: the fine hairlines and tight inner counters benefit from adequate size and comfortable leading. In text, the lively stroke modulation and distinctive terminals create a pronounced rhythm that feels intentional and editorial.
