A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical stems feel steady and upright while diagonals thin quickly into fine points, giving the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic cadence. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with pronounced flare and a slightly engraved look; curves show controlled stress and clean joins. Uppercase proportions are stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with lively details in bowls and descenders, producing a rhythmic, bookish texture in text.
Well suited to editorial applications where a refined, traditional voice is desired—magazine headlines, book titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing make it particularly effective at larger sizes, where the sculpted terminals and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a touch of drama from the sharp hairlines and flaring terminals. It reads as classic and editorial—confident, formal, and slightly theatrical rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more expressive, flared finishing, creating a contemporary editorial face that feels traditional in proportions but distinctive in its terminals and stroke modulation.
Round forms (like O and 0) show evident contrast and stress, and several letters feature subtle teardrop-like endings that enhance the calligraphic feel. Numerals maintain the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and fine finishing details that suit display sizes as well as careful text setting.
