A high-contrast serif with a calligraphic, slightly flared construction. Vertical stems remain firm while curves and joins taper to fine hairlines, and many strokes finish in wedged, softly bracketed terminals that create a subtly sculpted silhouette. Proportions feel traditional with moderate counters and a steady baseline rhythm, and the italics are absent here, reinforcing a clean, upright texture in text. Numerals and capitals carry a formal, bookish structure, while the lowercase maintains a readable, balanced color with clear stroke modulation.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form book typography, and magazine text where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and cultured editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add a sense of craft and formality without becoming ornate, giving it a poised, confident voice.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a subtly calligraphic, flared finishing, creating a text face that feels both traditional and distinctive. Its controlled contrast and crisp terminals aim for elegance and clarity in composed typography.
In running text the contrast produces a lively sparkle, especially around rounded letters and diagonals, while the flared terminals help keep strokes from feeling overly mechanical. Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, supporting an even text flow at larger reading sizes.
