A high-contrast serif with sharp, triangular terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that create a carved, calligraphic feel. The letterforms show a measured, traditional proportion with a moderate x-height, clear counters, and a steady baseline rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, and the joins and curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) are smoothly drawn with crisp transitions from thick to thin. The numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with slender diagonals and delicate finishing strokes that keep the set visually consistent.
This design works especially well for editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and feature decks—where contrast and crisp terminals can add sophistication. It also suits book covers and literary titles, formal branding systems, and invitation or certificate-style applications where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, with an elegant, slightly dramatic contrast that reads as bookish and editorial. Its sharp terminals and refined modulation give it a formal, premium voice suited to established institutions and traditional storytelling.
The font appears intended to provide a refined, tradition-forward serif voice with calligraphic modulation and flared details, balancing readable text color with a distinctive, elegant personality for display and editorial use.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving headlines a poised, engraved-like sparkle. In text, the steady spacing and open forms support legibility while maintaining a distinctly stylized, high-contrast presence.
