A crisp, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while joins and terminals show a slightly calligraphic, chiseled behavior that gives the outlines a carved, ink-on-paper feel. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with strong vertical emphasis; the lowercase maintains a balanced rhythm with clear counters and a measured, text-friendly color. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered details that keep figures prominent without becoming decorative.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book typography, and other editorial settings where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines and display copy, and can support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial—confident, polished, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing strokes suggest tradition and authority, lending a literary and premium atmosphere rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
Likely intended to blend traditional serif proportions with more expressive, flared stroke endings, creating a face that feels established yet vivid on the page. The goal appears to be a readable editorial workhorse with enough contrast and sculpting to add character in both text and display sizes.
The design’s contrast and flaring terminals create sparkle at larger sizes, while the steady spacing and consistent serif treatment help it hold together in paragraphs. The sample text shows a strong typographic presence with clear word shapes and a distinctly refined texture.
