A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into bracketed, wedge-like terminals. The forms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with crisp joins, narrow hairlines, and confident vertical stress. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional serif construction with clear, open counters and a steady text rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, reading cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, and book or journal covers where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for refined branding and formal materials such as invitations or cultural communications, especially in larger sizes where the contrast and terminal detailing can shine.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, projecting tradition, polish, and authority. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals add a touch of drama and ceremony, giving it a refined, headline-ready presence without feeling ornamental.
The font appears designed to blend classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared-terminal finish, aiming for a premium, print-forward voice. Its intent seems to be delivering strong typographic hierarchy—confident caps and energetic text color—while maintaining a traditional, credible foundation.
In paragraph setting the strong contrast creates a lively texture, and the flared terminals provide a distinctive signature compared with more neutral oldstyle serifs. The design feels most confident when given enough size and breathing room so the hairlines and bracket details remain clear.
