A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a distinctly calligraphic, flared behavior where stems broaden into the terminals and serifs. The serifs are small and pointed with subtle bracketing, giving the letterforms a crisp, cut-in feel rather than a blunt slab finish. Capitals are proportioned for titling with elegant curves and clean stress, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height and open counters for sustained reading. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, producing a refined, slightly theatrical rhythm in running text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, where its contrast and flared terminals can add elegance and emphasis.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial, literary character that reads as confident and cultured. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing adds a touch of drama and sophistication, suggesting premium print sensibilities and careful typesetting.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared stroke ending, delivering a refined reading texture and a distinctive, high-contrast presence. It aims to feel traditional and trustworthy while adding a subtle calligraphic edge for display and editorial impact.
In text, the strong thick–thin transitions and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle, especially in diagonals and curved joins. The flared endings help maintain presence at display sizes while still feeling delicate in the thin strokes, making spacing and rhythm feel intentional and composed.
