A high-contrast serif with a calligraphic construction and subtly flared, bracketed serifs that expand from the stems. Curves are smooth and generous, while many stroke endings resolve into crisp, slightly pointed terminals, giving the letterforms a precise edge. Proportions feel traditional with moderate widths and clear differentiation between thick verticals and hairline joins; lowercase forms show a compact, readable rhythm with open counters and a two-storey "g". Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with old-style-like curves and finely tapered details.
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 headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classic gravitas with a slightly dramatic, high-contrast sparkle. It reads as cultured and editorial rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of authority and elegance to text.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on a classic, print-forward serif: combining traditional proportions with sharpened terminals and gently flared serif shaping to deliver an authoritative yet stylish reading experience.
The design’s character comes from the interplay of broad, steady stems and delicate hairlines, plus the gently swelling serif connections that create a sculpted, engraved feel. Uppercase forms look poised for display, while the lowercase maintains enough regularity to hold together in longer passages.
