A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs. The curves are smooth and tense, with sharp, wedge-like terminals showing up in letters like C, S, and a, while verticals stay dark and steady. Proportions feel traditional with a moderate x-height; uppercase forms are stately and the lowercase shows compact, bookish shapes with strong thick–thin modulation. Numerals follow the same formal rhythm, with elegant curves and tapered joins that keep the texture lively at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where the contrast and tapered details can remain clear. It also fits editorial layouts, book covers, and refined branding systems that want a traditional serif voice with a bit of sharpness.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining traditional book-serif authority with a polished, contemporary crispness. It reads as formal and cultivated, suited to content that wants to feel established, literary, or premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a dignified, publication-ready serif texture with heightened contrast and subtly flared endings, balancing classical proportions with crisp, attention-grabbing terminals for display-led typography.
In running text the strong contrast creates a pronounced rhythm and sparkling highlights, especially in round letters and at the tapered terminals. The ampersand and diagonal letters (K, V, W, X) reinforce a slightly calligraphic construction, helping the face feel expressive without becoming ornate.
