A high-contrast serif with sharply defined, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. Stems are firm and vertical while hairlines stay thin and crisp, producing a lively light–dark rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Serifs are bracketed and taper into pointed ends, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) show smooth modulation with a slightly sculptural, chiseled edge. Overall proportions feel balanced and text-ready, with clear counters and a steady baseline presence.
Well suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other long-form editorial work where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and identity applications that benefit from crisp contrast and a classical, engraved-like finish.
The tone is classic and bookish with a refined, authoritative voice. Its sharp terminals and elegant contrast add a slightly formal, old-world sophistication, making it feel at home in cultured and editorial settings rather than casual or playful contexts.
The letterforms appear intended to combine traditional serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared terminal language, echoing calligraphic or engraved influences while staying disciplined enough for continuous reading. The result emphasizes elegance and hierarchy, giving designers a dependable serif for both text and display roles.
The design maintains consistent contrast and terminal treatment across letters and numerals, giving paragraphs a coherent texture. Numerals and round forms carry the same flared, pointed finishing, helping figures blend naturally into running text while still reading cleanly at display sizes.
