A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the stroke endings, giving stems a subtly sculpted feel. Curves are smooth and fairly open, while joins and terminals often resolve into sharp, tapered points, producing a crisp silhouette. Capitals appear stately and well-proportioned with clear modulation and refined hairlines; the lowercase maintains steady rhythm with compact, neatly finished serifs and a controlled, slightly calligraphic flow. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, reading cleanly with decisive terminals and balanced counters.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where the sharp flares and contrast can add sophistication and presence.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with an editorial seriousness that feels bookish and cultured. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a hint of drama and ceremony, making it feel confident and established rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction with pronounced flared terminals, combining traditional proportions with a more sculpted, calligraphic edge. The goal seems to be a refined reading face that can also project authority and elegance at larger sizes.
In text, the strong stroke contrast and pointed wedge serifs create lively texture and a distinctly engraved, classical color. The italic is not shown; the roman’s terminal shaping carries much of the personality, especially in letters like A, V/W, and the lowercase a/e/s where the flared endings become a defining motif.
