A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a clear flared behavior at many stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, often tapering into wedge-like terminals that keep the texture crisp rather than heavy. Round letters are generously open with smooth curves, while verticals and diagonals stay clean and controlled; the overall spacing reads even and airy in text. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly wide, while the lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with a traditional, readable structure.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where high-contrast serifs can add elegance and hierarchy. It can also work for display headings, cultural branding, and invitations when a classic, polished voice is needed, especially at sizes that let the fine hairlines and tapered serifs stay clear.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone with a classical, bookish sensibility. Its sharp details and elegant contrast feel formal and composed, suggesting editorial polish rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more expressive, flared finishing on stems and diagonals. It aims for an elegant, print-oriented color on the page, offering a classical foundation with distinctive, sharpened terminals for character in both text and display use.
Diagonal forms (like V, W, Y, and K) end in pronounced tapered feet, adding a subtle engraved or inscriptional flavor. The numerals follow the same crisp contrast and pointed terminals, helping them sit comfortably alongside text without becoming too blunt or geometric.
