A refined serif with sharply modulated strokes and a pronounced vertical stress. Stems and terminals subtly broaden into tapered, flared endings, giving the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than blunt slabs. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with thin hairlines that stay clean in curves and joins; the overall rhythm is measured, with generous counters and clear differentiation between thick and thin. Capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a moderately sized x-height and lively curves that keep text texture open.
It suits editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classic, high-finish serif can carry long-form reading while still providing distinctive headline presence. It also works well for refined branding, cultural institutions, and formal materials such as invitations or programs where a traditional, polished tone is desired.
The font conveys a poised, cultivated tone—formal without feeling stiff. Its high-contrast, flared finishing lends a sense of luxury and tradition that reads as bookish and editorial, suitable for content that wants authority and polish.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with subtly flared stroke endings to enhance elegance and sharpness. The aim is a sophisticated text-and-display serif that maintains clarity while projecting a premium, literary character.
In the sample text, the face produces a bright page color with distinct, sharp hairlines and confident verticals. Numerals match the text style with strong contrast and refined curves, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across headings and reading sizes.
