A high-contrast serif with smooth, flared stroke endings and bracketed joins that give the forms a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Vertical strokes dominate with sharp, tapered terminals and narrow hairlines that stay clean in larger sizes. Curves are generously rounded and counters are open, while the overall rhythm remains steady and upright. Uppercase letters feel stately with clear serif articulation, and the lowercase shows traditional proportions and a measured, bookish texture.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It also fits editorial settings such as magazine layouts and book-cover titling, and can support premium branding that benefits from a classic, established voice.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a refined, editorial polish. Its crisp contrast and carefully shaped serifs suggest tradition and seriousness, while the subtle flare adds a touch of elegance rather than strict rigidity.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of elegance and authority, combining sharp contrast with subtly flared terminals to create a distinctive, cultivated texture for editorial and display use.
