A refined serif with subtly flared, bracketed terminals that widen into pointed, calligraphic endings. Strokes show clear modulation and tapered joins, creating a lively vertical rhythm without becoming overly delicate. The uppercase forms are tall and stately with sharp apexes and clean, sculpted curves, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-face structure with compact bowls, distinct entry/exit strokes, and tidy, controlled counters. Numerals follow the same model—narrow, vertically oriented, and crisply finished—supporting a cohesive text-and-display palette.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book and journal typography, and other editorial contexts where a classical serif voice is desired. It also works for brand marks, invitations, and refined packaging when set at medium to large sizes, where the tapered flares and sculpted curves can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial, blending classical elegance with a slightly contemporary sharpness. Its tapered, flared finishing gives it a poised, crafted character that reads as serious, cultured, and intentional rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to offer a modernized classic serif experience: traditional proportions and readability paired with distinctive flared terminals that add character and authority. It aims to project elegance and credibility while remaining versatile for both display and extended reading.
In text, the design maintains strong word-shape definition through consistent vertical emphasis and crisp terminals, producing a confident, structured color on the page. The letterforms lean toward clarity and discipline, with enough stroke nuance to add sophistication at larger sizes.
