A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, calligraphic lift. The letterforms are upright with steady, bookish proportions, showing sharp apexes on A/V/W and clean, narrow crossbars. Curves are smooth and controlled, with teardrop-like ear and terminal details in places, and a consistent rhythm that holds together well across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a crisp serif can add structure and sophistication. It also performs strongly in display sizes for headlines, titles, and branding systems that want a classic, premium voice, and it can lend formality to invitations and certificates.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward traditional publishing aesthetics. Its sharp serifs and polished contrast convey authority and refinement, while the gentle flare at stroke endings adds a hint of warmth and historic character without feeling ornate.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on classic serif typography: strong contrast and sharp detailing for elegance, combined with subtly flared, tapered strokes to introduce a distinctive, crafted signature. It prioritizes a refined reading rhythm while retaining enough personality for prominent display use.
The numerals read clearly and share the same contrast and serif treatment as the letters, supporting continuous text and figure-heavy settings. Spacing in the samples appears balanced, with a slightly dramatic sparkle from the contrast that becomes more pronounced as sizes increase.
