A high-contrast serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and sharply defined terminals. The design shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, wedge-like serifs, and pointed apexes on capitals, producing a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Curves are smooth and generous, with relatively narrow joins and an overall vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains steady proportions and clear counters for continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and refined branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can serve as a distinctive headline face while also supporting longer passages when sized and spaced to accommodate its contrast and sharp details.
The font conveys an elevated, literary tone—poised and authoritative without feeling overly ornamental. Its sharp serifs and polished contrast suggest tradition and craft, giving text a composed, editorial presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif forms with sculpted, flared terminals and a calligraphic thick–thin structure, aiming for a premium reading and display texture that feels both traditional and freshly cut.
In text, the strong contrast and tapered joins create a lively texture with distinct word shapes, especially in mixed case. Numerals appear oldstyle in proportion and rhythm, blending naturally with lowercase in running text rather than standing as rigid lining figures.
