A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, carved quality. Vertical stems are firm and dominant while hairlines stay fine and crisp, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Curves are generously rounded yet controlled, and joins often show a subtle swelling that reinforces the flared, calligraphic modulation. Overall spacing feels steady and text-forward, with clear counters and a traditional roman construction that reads cleanly in the sample paragraph.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where strong contrast and crisp serifs add sophistication. It also fits book jackets and titles, as well as premium branding and identity work that benefits from a traditional yet distinctive serif voice.
The tone is formal and editorial, combining classical bookish manners with a slightly dramatic, display-ready contrast. Its sharpened terminals and flared stroke endings add a sense of craft and gravitas, suggesting heritage, ceremony, and polished print culture.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic roman reading texture while elevating it with flared, sculptural terminals and pronounced contrast for added presence. It balances conventional proportions with expressive finishing so it can move comfortably between text-oriented settings and prominent display use.
Capitals present a confident, monumental stance, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable texture with distinct shapes and a clear hierarchy between thick stems and hairlines. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered finishing that matches the letterforms.
