This typeface shows high-contrast, upright letterforms with flared stems that transition into wedge-like, softly bracketed serif endings. Curves are smooth and tensioned, while terminals often finish in sharp, tapered points that give the shapes a cut-from-the-pen feel. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly wide in presence, with clear modulation through bowls and diagonals; lowercase forms maintain a steady, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height and distinct ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same contrast and flared logic, with open counters and crisp joins that keep the figures legible at text sizes.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features, where its contrast and controlled rhythm produce an engaging texture. In display sizes, the flared endings and sharp terminals give headlines and titles a distinctive, refined character, making it equally useful for upscale branding and identity work that wants a classical voice with a bit of edge.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining traditional serif authority with a subtle calligraphic liveliness. It feels suited to cultured, editorial settings—serious without becoming rigid—thanks to the flared stroke endings and elegant contrast.
The font appears designed to bridge classic serif readability with a more expressive, flared finishing style, adding personality without sacrificing structure. Its consistent modulation and disciplined proportions suggest an intention to work reliably in text while offering heightened elegance for editorial typography.
The design’s contrast and tapered terminals create a lively texture in paragraphs, with noticeable sparkle in smaller details like the pointed cross-strokes and curved serif transitions. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, while the sharper terminals and flares add emphasis in headlines and pull quotes.
