A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs read as wedge-like and often slightly flared, with subtle bracketing that softens joins while keeping edges sharp. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderately wide capitals, compact lowercase, and a steady baseline rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn and the overall color on the page is dark and confident, especially in text settings.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazines where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display sizes for headlines, publisher marks, cultural branding, and formal collateral where crisp contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is classical and editorial, evoking printed literature, heritage institutions, and formal communication. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals add a refined, slightly dramatic presence that feels authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif letterforms with a distinctly sculpted, flared finishing, balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more expressive terminals. It aims to deliver a dignified reading texture in text while providing enough character for confident display use.
Numerals appear oldstyle in feel with noticeable contrast and elegant curves, pairing well with the lowercase. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., i/l) and maintains consistent stress across rounded letters, giving paragraphs a stable, traditional texture.
