This serif has a crisp, high-contrast construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and often flare subtly out of the stems, giving terminals a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish rather than a blunt cut. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a steady vertical rhythm; curves (C, O, S) are smooth and controlled while joins remain sharp and clean. The overall texture is polished and consistent, with numerals that match the same refined contrast and detailing.
It suits editorial settings where a refined, high-contrast serif can provide a premium voice—such as magazine features, book titles and chapter openings, and cultured brand systems. It also works well for display and headline use where the flared detailing and sharp hairlines can be appreciated, and for formal stationery where a classic tone is desired.
The tone is sophisticated and bookish, leaning toward classic publishing aesthetics. Its sharp hairlines and shaped serifs convey refinement and authority, making it feel formal without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with subtly flared, sculptural terminals to add character and elegance. It aims for a confident, literary voice with a clean, modern finish suitable for contemporary publishing and branding.
Large sizes show distinctive flare and tapering at terminals, which adds character and brightness on the baseline and cap line. In longer text, the contrast produces a lively page color, with punctuation and dots rendered as small, crisp marks.
