A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that subtly flare out from the stems. The curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and apexes stay crisp, giving the letters a sculpted, print-like finish. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, with wide proportions and clear internal space; lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and lively stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with strong verticals and delicate hairlines that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where contrast and refined serif detail are assets, such as magazine headings, pull quotes, and book covers. It can also serve premium branding and packaging, especially where a classic, literary tone is desired; the finer hairlines suggest it will shine most in larger sizes and good print or high-resolution screen settings.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing elegance with a firm, authoritative presence. Its calligraphic contrast and flared detailing suggest a traditional, bookish voice rather than a purely modern one, making it feel trustworthy, cultured, and slightly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif typography, using pronounced contrast and flared, bracketed finishing to create an elegant reading voice with strong display character. It aims for a dignified, publishable texture—traditional in structure, but sharpened for modern, high-impact composition.
Hairlines and thin serifs become quite fine in letters like E, F, T and in the curved joins of S and e, emphasizing a crisp rhythm in text. The glyph set shown maintains consistent modulation across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping the sample paragraph hold a steady, classic texture.
