A high-contrast serif with tapered, slightly flared stroke endings and crisp wedge-like terminals. Vertical stems feel firm and straight, while curves show a smooth, calligraphic modulation that creates a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs read as sharp and bracketed rather than blocky, and the overall drawing balances crisp geometry with subtle pen-like shaping in joins and terminals. Uppercase proportions are stately and open, while the lowercase introduces more movement through italic-style forms with angled stress and energetic entry/exit strokes.
Works especially well for headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where high contrast and sharp terminals can carry a refined voice. It can also suit short-to-medium passages in high-quality print layouts, particularly for literary or cultural content that benefits from a classic serif presence.
The face projects a classic, cultured tone with an editorial polish. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast suggest formality and sophistication, while the subtly calligraphic detailing adds warmth and expressiveness rather than strict austerity.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif authority with a more expressive, pen-informed finish. The combination of crisp wedge terminals, flared endings, and italic-style lowercase forms aims to create an elegant reading texture that feels both classic and lively.
The italicized lowercase gives mixed-case text a dynamic texture, with noticeable slant-like motion even though the overall impression remains upright and composed. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapered-terminal logic, looking suited to display and pull-quote settings where stroke modulation can be appreciated.
