A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a distinctly sculpted, flared feel at many stroke endings. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals and tapered joins that give the outlines a carved, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms keep a traditional axis and clear differentiation; the italic is not shown, and the roman maintains a steady, upright posture. Numerals match the text color well, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that reinforce the refined contrast.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly in headlines and pull quotes thanks to its contrast and crisp terminals. It can support premium branding applications that want a traditional, cultured tone, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, bookish authority. Its sharp contrast and tapered terminals add a slightly dramatic, engraved quality that feels refined rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with added sharpness and sculptural flare, balancing classical proportions with lively, tapered terminals for a more distinctive voice in display and editorial settings.
In the text sample, the letterspacing reads comfortable at display and text sizes, while the very thin hairlines and tight apertures in some forms suggest it will look best with good reproduction quality and sufficient size. Curved letters and diagonals maintain consistent contrast, lending a polished, traditional texture across mixed-case settings.
