A high-contrast serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, calligraphic terminals that widen into sharp, tapered endings. The serifs read as subtly bracketed and wedge-like rather than blocky, giving the letterforms a sculpted, carved feel. Uppercase proportions are stately with crisp joins and generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and a slightly lively, ink-driven curvature. Figures are similarly contrasty and elegant, with thin hairlines and firm verticals that keep the overall texture refined.
Best suited to editorial and display settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and high-end branding. It can also work for invitations and formal communications where a classic, elevated tone is desired, especially at sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The tone is formal and cultivated, evoking editorial tradition and classical typography. Its sharp tapers and graceful flares add a subtle dramatic edge, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony without feeling ornamental. Overall it reads as confident, literary, and premium.
Likely designed to blend classical serif proportions with a calligraphic, flared finish, producing an upscale text-and-display face that feels traditional yet slightly stylized. The goal appears to be a refined reading experience with distinctive terminals and strong contrast for elegance in larger settings.
In continuous text the strong thick–thin pattern creates a bright, shimmering texture, especially where hairlines and terminals cluster. The flared stroke endings are consistent across letters and numerals, reinforcing a coherent, pen-informed voice that favors display clarity and refined typography.
