A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes that subtly flare into the serifs, creating a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are clean and rounded with controlled stress, while verticals read firm and steady; serifs are bracketed and elegantly shaped rather than blocky. The rhythm is even and text-ready, with open counters and a balanced mix of sharp terminals (notably in letters like A, V, W, and y) and softer transitions in rounded forms. Numerals appear classic and proportional, matching the restrained, editorial texture of the letters.
Works well for editorial design, book and long-form reading, and refined headline settings where contrast and serif detail can carry tone. It also fits brand identities, certificates, invitations, and other formal materials that call for a classic, trustworthy typographic presence.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking book typography and institutional printing. Its contrast and flared detailing add a sense of ceremony and authority without becoming ornate. The font reads as confident and cultured, suited to contexts that benefit from a composed, classic voice.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif proportions with gently flared stroke endings to add warmth and distinction. It aims for a polished, literary look that remains legible and composed in continuous text while providing enough character for titles and display use.
In the sample text, the face maintains a smooth, consistent texture across long lines, with punctuation and capitals staying crisp at display sizes. Diagonals feel slightly more energetic than the upright stems, adding subtle liveliness while preserving a formal demeanor.
