A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, tapered joins, and sculpted terminals that often widen into subtle flares. The serifs read as finely bracketed and pointed rather than blocky, giving strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Capitals are stately and open, with smooth curves and controlled stress; the lowercase shows a traditional book face structure with compact bowls, a two-storey a, and a crisp, slightly angular rhythm. Figures are lining and similarly high-contrast, with distinct thick–thin modulation and delicate entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazines, book typography, and cultural or academic materials where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines and logotype-style branding that benefit from high contrast and refined details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional print typography and formal editorial settings. Its crisp contrast and refined finishing details suggest sophistication and authority rather than casual friendliness.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast interpretation of a classic serif for elegant reading and display, balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more sculpted terminals for a premium feel.
In text, the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a bright, high-definition texture that favors generous sizes and comfortable spacing. Several glyphs show distinctive, lightly flared stroke endings and tapered strokes, reinforcing a carved, pen-influenced feel.
