A high-contrast serif with pronounced tapered stems that broaden into subtly flared, bracketed endings. Curves are smooth and somewhat compact, with clear thick–thin transitions and sharp, clean terminals. The capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, readable rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders. Numerals match the text style with strong contrast and clear, serifed construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a refined, classic tone.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking literary and editorial settings. Its crisp contrast and flared finishing strokes add a sense of refinement and ceremony without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more expressive, taper-to-flare stroke behavior, creating a distinguished texture for both running text and prominent titling.
The stroke modulation is consistent across letters and figures, giving paragraphs a disciplined texture. The flared shaping on verticals and the firm serifs help define word shapes and provide a confident, print-oriented presence at display and text sizes.
