A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals that subtly flare into the terminals. Serifs are bracketed and lively rather than mechanical, with a calligraphic feel in the stroke modulation and join shapes. The capitals are stately with generous curves and narrow hairline connections, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained forms with rounded bowls and a traditional double-storey a and g. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with open counters and elegant, slightly sculpted curves that keep the texture crisp in display sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where contrast and sharp detailing can contribute to a premium feel. It can also work for branding and packaging that calls for a classic, literary voice, especially when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying refinement and authority without feeling overly formal. Its flared terminals and energetic contrast add a touch of drama that reads as cultured and premium, suited to heritage-leaning or literary contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast serifs by pairing traditional proportions with distinctive flared terminals for added character. It aims to create an elegant display texture that remains readable and structured while projecting an editorial, heritage-inflected mood.
Stroke endings frequently widen into small flares, giving the text a subtly carved, inscriptional flavor. In the sample paragraph, the rhythm stays even, but the strong thick–thin transitions make it feel most at home at larger sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
