A high-contrast serif with tapered stems that broaden into subtly flared, bracketed serifs and terminals. Curves are smooth and full, with crisp joins and a steady, upright axis. Capitals feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a lively “g” with a pronounced ear. Numerals and punctuation match the sharp, sculpted rhythm, producing a bold, clean page color at display sizes.
Works best in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It’s also well suited to magazine and book-cover typography, cultural institutions, and premium branding that wants a classic serif voice with a subtly contemporary sharpness.
The tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial confidence that reads as bookish and authoritative. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast give it a premium, cultured feel—suited to serious subjects without becoming austere.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority and refinement while differentiating itself through flared terminals and sculpted contrast. The overall intention appears to be an elegant display-and-editorial workhorse that brings character without sacrificing clarity.
The flared stroke endings and teardrop-like terminals add a slightly calligraphic touch, keeping the texture dynamic even in large blocks of text. Wide capitals and generous internal counters help maintain clarity and elegance in headlines.
