This serif shows sharply defined, high-contrast strokes with a distinctly sculpted, flared finish that reads as a softer alternative to strict hairline-and-ball terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, and verticals feel sturdy against very thin connecting strokes. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S are smoothly tensioned, while joins and terminals are clean and crisp, giving the forms a chiseled, print-oriented presence. Lowercase proportions sit at a moderate x-height with compact counters and a lively rhythm from the pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine display, book and chapter titles, and sophisticated headlines where contrast and flare can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also support premium branding and poster typography that benefits from a classic, literary voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that feels cultured and confident. Its contrast and flared detailing add a subtle theatricality—more expressive than a plain book serif, yet still reserved and professional.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif authority with a more sculptural, flared stroke ending, creating a refined display face that remains legible while adding character and elegance to prominent text.
The italics are not shown, and the displayed roman forms emphasize strong vertical stress and elegant hairlines. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the letterforms with tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic snap in diagonals and curves.
