A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded bowls and a crisp taper into hairlines, giving letters a polished, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady, readable texture; the overall spacing and color stay even in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, books, and long-form reading—where its contrast and steady rhythm create a refined page. It also works effectively for headlines, cultural branding, and formal materials like invitations or programs when a classic yet distinctive serif voice is needed.
The tone is poised and traditional, projecting a bookish, editorial confidence with a subtle ceremonial polish. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishes add a touch of drama without becoming overly ornate, making it feel both cultured and contemporary-classic.
The font appears designed to combine classical serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared finishing vocabulary, aiming for elegance and clarity in both text and display. The controlled contrast and consistent detailing suggest an intention to deliver a premium, literary feel while remaining practical in extended reading.
The design shows a consistent interplay of thick verticals and delicate joins, with terminals that broaden gently into wedge-like endings. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, supporting use in running text as well as display settings.
