A high-contrast serif with distinctly sculpted, flaring stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a calligraphic modulation that gives stems a slightly organic swell rather than purely geometric precision. The uppercase reads poised and formal with broad, stable forms, while the lowercase shows clear, open counters and a crisp rhythm; round letters stay even and the joins feel carefully tapered. Numerals follow the same sharp, contrasty logic, with clean terminals and an overall balanced texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can carry headlines and subheads with sophistication, and it also works for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, traditional feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a slightly dramatic, display-ready polish. Its sharp contrast and flared detailing add a refined, authoritative voice that feels at home in cultured, editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a more expressive flared finish, creating a face that reads comfortably while offering a distinctive, crafted silhouette for display use.
Diagonal strokes and junctions show consistent tapering, helping the face stay elegant at larger sizes while maintaining a composed text color. The serif and terminal treatment is a defining feature throughout, giving the letterforms a subtly chiselled, crafted character without becoming ornate.
