A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and full, while terminals taper to sharp points, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with generous counters, a moderate axis, and a steady baseline; the figures and punctuation share the same sharp, chiseled finishing.
Well-suited to editorial design where contrast and elegance are desirable, such as magazine features, book jackets, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for branding and titling that needs a traditional, premium feel, and for short-to-medium passages where its crisp serifs and tapered terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a confident, literary voice. Its sharp terminals and polished contrast add a sense of sophistication and seriousness, while the flared shaping keeps it expressive rather than austere.
The design appears intended to evoke classic serif tradition with a more sculpted, flared finish, balancing readability with display-level drama. It aims to deliver a refined, authoritative texture that stands out in headlines while remaining comfortable for literary and editorial typography.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed finishing create pronounced texture and clear word shapes, especially in uppercase-led settings. The numerals appear classic and well-integrated with the letterforms, supporting a coherent typographic color in headings and display sizes.
