A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp, bracketed serifs that give the strokes a chiseled, slightly calligraphic finish. Capitals are broad and steady with elegant curves (notably in C, G, and Q), while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads clearly at text sizes. Curved letters show smooth swelling into terminals, and joins are clean and controlled, producing an even rhythm across words. Numerals are lining-style in proportion, with bold vertical stress and sharp, tapered details that match the letterforms.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in books and periodicals, where its clear rhythm and refined contrast support a classic editorial color. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding that benefits from a formal, crafted serif voice.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with a bookish authority suited to refined, serious messaging. Its contrast and flared endings add a hint of drama and craftsmanship, giving text a poised, editorial presence rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with expressive, flared stroke endings that add character and elegance. It aims to deliver a familiar literary tone while providing enough contrast and sculpted detail to stand out in display settings.
The design maintains consistent vertical stress and a disciplined silhouette, with slightly tapered stems and prominent terminals that create lively sparkle in paragraphs. Wider forms like M and W feel confidently expansive, while narrow letters keep strong presence through contrast and terminal shaping.
