This typeface is a high-contrast serif with an upright, bookish skeleton and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a slightly tapered, calligraphic finish. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with crisp terminals and carefully shaped joins that keep counters open and legible. Proportions feel balanced and moderately condensed in the caps, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with a normal x-height and clear ascender/descender structure. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with smooth curves and pointed finishing details that read cleanly at text sizes.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for formal display lines—chapter titles, cultural institutions, and invitations—especially when paired with ample leading to let the contrast and flared endings breathe.
Overall it conveys a composed, classical tone—polished and authoritative without feeling ornate. The flared endings add a gentle humanist warmth, making it feel literary and traditional rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif authority with a lightly calligraphic edge, using flared stroke endings and strong contrast to create elegance while preserving practical readability for text and display.
The design shows consistent modulation across rounds (C, O, Q) and diagonals (V, W, X), with delicate hairlines and firm verticals that create a crisp page color. Punctuation and dots appear compact and dark, supporting clear sentence rhythm in running text.
