This serif shows sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and flared stroke endings that give many terminals a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed in places, with a clear thick–thin rhythm and pointed joins that add crispness without becoming spiky. The capitals have a stately presence with generous interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable skeleton with rounded bowls and compact apertures. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and firm verticals that hold up well at text sizes.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, title treatments, and brand or institution-facing materials that benefit from a formal, established tone.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, evoking printed literature, traditional publishing, and formal communication. Its sharp, sculpted detailing adds a faintly dramatic, authoritative character, making it feel polished rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif tradition by combining a readable text skeleton with more expressive flared terminals and sharp, wedge-like finishing. The goal seems to be an authoritative, print-native voice that can scale from immersive reading to confident display settings.
In text, the pronounced contrast and wedge terminals create a lively texture, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp word shapes. The ampersand and capital forms contribute a distinctly traditional voice suited to display as well as continuous reading when set with comfortable spacing.
