This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently tapered, flared terminals rather than blunt slab endings. Serifs are finely bracketed, with sharp apexes and subtly swelling joins that give strokes a drawn, calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced with moderate extenders, a relatively traditional lowercase structure, and clear counters that stay open in text. The overall rhythm is calm and even, with crisp detailing in diagonals and curved letters and a restrained, polished texture on the page.
It performs well for book and long-form editorial typography where a refined, traditional voice is desired, and it can also serve as a tasteful display serif for headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations.
The tone is classical and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and high-end editorial design. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast lend an air of sophistication and formality without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized classical serif: readable and steady for continuous text, while using flared terminals and strong contrast to add elegance and a slightly calligraphic signature in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the face maintains a clean, consistent color with strong vertical emphasis and lively terminal shaping that adds character at display sizes. Numerals and capitals read as traditional and stately, suited to composed, typographic settings.
