A crisp serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharp, neatly bracketed serifs. Vertical stems read firm and dark while curves thin dramatically at joins, giving the letters a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Many stroke endings taper into subtle flares and pointed terminals rather than blunt cuts, which adds sparkle in capitals and a delicate finish in lowercase. Proportions are fairly traditional, with roomy counters, a moderate lowercase size, and numerals that sit confidently with clear thick–thin contrast.
Well suited to editorial design, book interiors, and magazine typography where a classic, high-contrast serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a crisp, elegant serif voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. High contrast and tapered endings lend an elegant, slightly dramatic voice suitable for polished, formal communication without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize classic serif construction with heightened contrast and tapered, flared stroke endings, balancing traditional proportions with a sharper, more polished finish for contemporary editorial and display use.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and sharp serifing create a clear line structure, while the contrast adds texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Round letters show clean oval construction, and the capitals present a stately presence that pairs well with the more fluid, slightly calligraphic lowercase.
