A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced flaring at terminals, giving stems a subtly sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs read as wedge-like and often softly bracketed into the main strokes, while curves show a smooth, controlled modulation from thick to hairline. Uppercase forms are dignified and open, with crisp joins and clear internal counters; the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with compact, well-contained bowls and a slightly calligraphic stress. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, mixing sturdy verticals with fine finishing strokes for a formal, print-oriented texture.
Well suited for literary and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it can also carry elegant headings and subheads. The flared terminals make it a strong choice for formal materials such as invitations, programs, and heritage-leaning brand identities, especially when set with comfortable leading and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add a subtle ceremonial quality, while the steady proportions keep it readable and composed. The font projects confidence and seriousness without feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a more expressive, flared finishing language. By pairing strong verticals with fine hairlines and tapered terminals, it aims to deliver both tradition and visual character across text and display contexts.
In text settings the face produces a lively sparkle from the thin horizontals and terminals, so spacing and line length will influence perceived brightness. The flared endings add presence at display sizes while still maintaining a classical serif structure in continuous reading.
