A high-contrast serif with bracketed, subtly flared stroke endings and a predominantly vertical stress. The design balances crisp, tapered hairlines against sturdy main stems, with pointed apexes in letters like A and V and clean, slightly sculpted curves in rounded forms. Serifs read as sharp and tidy rather than heavy, and terminals often finish with a gentle flare that gives strokes a chiseled, calligraphic feel without becoming ornate. Proportions are relatively traditional, with compact bowls and a steady rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form reading where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments—where the high contrast and flared details can carry a premium, formal tone.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and tailored flares add a hint of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel appropriate for cultured, classic messaging rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp contrast, aiming for a versatile face that can move between text and display while projecting a composed, traditional authority.
In text, the contrast produces a lively sparkle, while the firm serifs and controlled curves keep lines feeling composed. The uppercase has a stately presence for headings, and the lowercase maintains clarity with distinctly shaped counters and confident verticals.
