A high-contrast serif with tapered, flaring stroke endings and delicately bracketed serifs. Vertical stems feel firm and stately while joins and terminals thin noticeably, producing a crisp rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions are traditional and bookish, with generous interior spaces and smooth, rounded bowls; diagonals and curved strokes show subtle modulation consistent with a calligraphic influence. Numerals match the text color well, combining strong verticals with fine hairlines for an elegant but assertive presence.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional, literary voice is desired, and it also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and magazine titles thanks to its contrast and sharp detailing. It can support premium branding and packaging where a refined, classical serif character is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting established publishing and institutions. Its sharp contrast and poised serifs lend a sense of authority and sophistication, while the soft bracketing and flare keep it from feeling brittle or overly mechanistic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional, high-contrast serif through subtly flared stroke endings, balancing formal elegance with a touch of contemporary sharpness for editorial and display use.
In the text sample, the design maintains a steady baseline and clear word shapes, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that create sparkle at larger sizes. Curved letters (like C, G, O, and e) read smooth and open, while pointed joins and tapered terminals add a slightly dramatic, display-friendly edge.
