A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and firmly bracketed serifs that taper into sharp terminals. Curves are round and generously bowed, while joins and tapers feel calligraphy-informed, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with pronounced triangular/wedge details on letters like A, V, W, and Y; the lowercase keeps clear, traditional forms with a two-storey a and g and neatly cut terminals. Figures follow the same contrast and flare, with oldstyle-like shaping in several numerals and crisp, pointed finishing strokes throughout.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a classical serif voice is desired, especially for display sizes, chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headings. It can also support premium branding and formal printed materials where crisp, sculpted serifs and high-contrast rhythm help establish a traditional, upscale tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance created by its strong contrast and crisp, flared endings. It reads as authoritative and cultured, lending a polished, editorial character without feeling overly ornate.
This font appears designed to blend classical serif proportions with flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a face that feels historically rooted yet visually distinctive. The consistent contrast and sharply articulated terminals suggest an intention to deliver elegance and authority in both text and display settings.
In text, the design maintains an even color for a high-contrast face, but the sharpened terminals and strong diagonal stress give it a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes. The flared details and pronounced serifs become a key part of the texture, making spacing and leading feel important for comfortable continuous reading.
