A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, showing a distinctly sculpted, slightly calligraphic modulation. Serifs are bracketed and often flare as stems meet terminals, creating a chiseled, engraved feel rather than flat, mechanical endings. Curves are generous and smooth (notably in C, G, O, Q), while joins and apexes stay sharp and controlled; counters are open and well-shaped for text. The lowercase is moderately proportioned with a readable rhythm, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style influence with delicate inner turns and strong vertical stress.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where its contrast and flared detailing can add sophistication without becoming ornamental. It also performs convincingly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks—especially for cultural, academic, or heritage-leaning identities.
The overall tone is classical and polished, with an authoritative, bookish presence. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing details convey refinement and tradition, leaning toward a literary, institutional voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms with pronounced contrast and subtly flared stroke endings, aiming for a refined, print-classic voice that remains functional for continuous reading.
In paragraphs, the font creates a lively light–dark texture: strong stems anchor the line while hairlines and tapered serifs add sparkle. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence; the italic is not shown here, and the roman design carries the expressive character through stroke modulation and terminal shaping.
