This serif features pronounced stroke modulation with a clear calligraphic stress, pairing sturdy verticals with fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, and many strokes finish with subtly tapered, flared-looking terminals that add a carved, slightly calligraphic edge. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with clean, pointed apexes (notably in A and W), while the lowercase keeps a balanced rhythm and measured spacing in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and crisp joins that read clearly at display sizes.
It works well for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for book or report titling and formal materials like invitations, especially in larger sizes where the contrast and sharp terminals stay clean.
Overall, the tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial authority. The sharp serifs and dramatic contrast give it a confident, slightly ceremonial presence suited to refined, serious messaging rather than casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast serif: elegant and authoritative, with flared, tapered stroke endings that introduce a subtle calligraphic signature. It prioritizes strong typographic presence and refined detail for display-led settings.
In running text, the strong vertical emphasis and fine hairlines create a bright, crisp texture, while the tapered terminals add a hint of handcrafted character. The design feels most comfortable when given enough size and whitespace for the thin strokes and sharp details to remain distinct.
