A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the forms a carved, calligraphic feel. The capitals are stately with sharp apexes and clean, bracketed transitions, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls and clear, round counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, with strong thick–thin modulation; horizontals and hairlines stay fine without becoming spidery at the shown sizes. Numerals follow the same restrained contrast and feel balanced for text settings, with clear shapes and consistent alignment.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and magazine layouts where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and branded stationery—particularly when set at comfortable text sizes or as elegant display headings.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking book typography and editorial polish. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the slightly flared endings keep it from feeling overly mechanical.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on classical serif construction: high contrast for sophistication, with flared, tapered endings to add warmth and a hand-influenced finish. The balance between crisp detail and steady proportions points toward reliable performance in both text and headline roles.
The sample text suggests a measured rhythm with relatively generous spacing and stable word shapes, helping long lines remain calm and readable. Distinctive pointed terminals and tapered strokes contribute to a subtly dramatic texture, especially in capitals and diagonals.
