A high-contrast serif with a calligraphic, flared-stem character and crisp, bracketed terminals. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp wedge-like serifs, and tapered joins that give strokes a sculpted, slightly engraved feel. Proportions lean traditional with comparatively small lowercase relative to capitals and ascenders that read prominent in text. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and e) are smooth and tightly controlled, while diagonals (V, W, Y) end in fine, pointed terminals that heighten the overall sharpness.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional tone.
The overall tone is poised and classical, with a quiet authority suited to literary and institutional settings. Its sharp contrast and flared details add a touch of elegance and drama without becoming ornate, reading as refined rather than decorative.
Likely drawn to evoke a classic, bookish serif tradition while adding a distinctive flared-stem signature and heightened contrast for presence on the page. The design balances readability with a polished, formal character aimed at editorial and identity work.
In the sample text, the rhythm stays consistent and crisp, with clear word shapes driven by the compact lowercase and strong vertical stress. Numerals are similarly contrasty and traditional, integrating well with running text and display sizes.
