A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a chiseled, sculpted feel. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp joins and a lively modulation through curves. Proportions read as traditional and slightly compact in the capitals, while lowercase forms keep a steady, readable rhythm with clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and apertures. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and narrow joins that maintain a consistent, polished texture in text.
It performs well for editorial typography, book and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired, and for display headlines that benefit from crisp contrast. The refined detailing also suits upscale branding, invitations, and cultural or academic materials where a classical tone supports the content.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, slightly dramatic sharpness that suggests heritage typography. Its crisp contrast and flared finishing strokes lend a formal, cultivated voice suited to serious or authoritative messaging without feeling heavy.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with more sculptural, flared stroke endings, creating an elevated, print-forward texture that reads both classic and distinctive. It aims to deliver clarity and authority while adding a subtle calligraphic energy through contrast and tapered terminals.
Curved characters show pronounced thinning at transitions and sharper finishing points, producing a sparkling surface in larger sizes. The italic is not shown, so the personality here is carried entirely by upright forms and their tapered terminals and brackets.
