A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller verticals that subtly flare into the terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, giving strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Proportions feel balanced with moderate ascenders/descenders and an even, comfortable x-height; counters are open and the rhythm is steady in text. Capitals show refined modulation and clean joins, while numerals follow the same contrast pattern with elegant curves and narrow hairline connections.
Well-suited to editorial design where a refined serif is needed for headlines, subheads, and feature typography. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and identity systems that want a classic voice with a crisp, contemporary finish. For long passages, it will feel most comfortable at moderate-to-large text sizes where the hairlines remain visible.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an editorial sophistication that reads as traditional yet not overly ornate. Its sharp serifs and flared stroke endings add a sense of authority and craft, lending a poised, slightly dramatic voice to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a subtly flared, calligraphic finish, producing a face that feels authoritative and premium without relying on heavy ornament. The consistent contrast and controlled terminals suggest a focus on elegant typography for reading and editorial display.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine hairlines remain clear at display sizes, and the flared terminals help keep strokes visually anchored. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and 0/8/9) emphasize smooth, controlled curvature, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) keep a clean, chiseled edge that reinforces the formal character.
