This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared construction: verticals feel sturdy while strokes taper into sharp, angled terminals that read as subtle flares rather than blunt slabs. Serifs are crisp and often wedge-like, with gentle bracketing and pointed finishing on many diagonals, giving letters a chiseled, slightly calligraphic edge. Proportions are fairly traditional, with open bowls and clear counters; capitals are stately and evenly set, while the lowercase shows lively details such as a two-storey "g" and a compact, neatly finished "e". Numerals follow the same refined rhythm, with elegant curves and thin hairlines that emphasize the contrast.
It performs especially well in editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and sculpted terminals also make it effective for display uses—headlines, pull quotes, and refined poster typography—where its sharp finishing and elegant rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and literary, balancing elegance with a quiet sense of authority. Its sharp, flared endings and pronounced contrast suggest a classic editorial voice—polished, traditional, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif, using flared stroke endings and crisp wedge terminals to add energy and definition while keeping proportions suitable for continuous reading. It aims to project refinement and credibility, with enough sharp detail to stand out in editorial typography.
Across both the grid and the text sample, the design maintains consistent stroke modulation and pointed terminal behavior, producing a crisp texture in paragraphs. The thin strokes become quite delicate at text sizes, while the flared terminals and wedge serifs help preserve definition and direction along the baseline.
