A high-contrast serif with sharply defined hairlines and fuller, subtly swelling main strokes that taper into flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are crisp and slightly bracketed, giving the outlines a carved, sculptural feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. The capitals are broad and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a classic book face rhythm with a moderately sized x-height and clear, open counters. Details such as the angled beaks on letters like r and a, the lively ear on g, and the brisk, pointed joins lend a faintly calligraphic edge to an otherwise formal, structured design.
Well suited to editorial settings where a refined, high-contrast serif can add voice—book jackets, magazine headings, pull quotes, and elevated brand identities. It also works for display and short-form text where the crisp hairlines and flared terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a confident, slightly theatrical sharpness from the strong contrast and flared endings. It reads as literary and authoritative, evoking classic publishing and heritage branding rather than minimal or utilitarian styling.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with expressive, flared stroke endings, producing an elegant text-and-display typeface that feels authoritative yet visually lively. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial tone and premium presentation.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with strong thick–thin modulation and elegant curves, complementing the text color in paragraphs. The design maintains a steady vertical stance, but uses subtle stroke swelling and tapered finishes to create movement and a refined texture at larger sizes.
