This serif features sharp, high-contrast forms with a subtly calligraphic construction. Vertical stems are sturdy while hairlines thin dramatically, and many terminals widen into gentle flares that read as sculpted rather than blunt. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with clean joins and a slightly condensed, upright posture that keeps lines tidy in text. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, G, O, and S), and counters are moderately open; the overall rhythm is crisp with a refined, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial design, books, and magazine typography where a refined serif texture is desired. It can carry headlines and subheads with clarity and prestige, and it also works for branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, literary voice.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and editorial headlines. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals add a touch of sophistication and drama without becoming ornamental, giving it a composed, authoritative feel.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast serifs, balancing crisp hairlines and bracketed serifs with subtly flared terminals to add distinctive character while preserving readability and typographic discipline.
Uppercase proportions feel stately with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a steady reading rhythm and a conventional, two-storey structure where expected (e.g., a). Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, looking suited to running text as well as display settings.
