A high-contrast serif with an organic, slightly calligraphic build: verticals read sturdy while joins and terminals swell into subtly flared, bracketed endings. Curves are full and generously rounded, with tapered connections that create a lively rhythm across words. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with pronounced ascenders and descenders, and the overall color feels confident and dark at text sizes due to the strong thick–thin pattern and compact internal counters.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and classical-feeling brand systems where a strong serif voice is desired. It also performs well in headlines and display settings, where the high contrast and flared detailing can carry a confident, traditional character.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a refined, old-style warmth rather than a cool, modern austerity. Its flared terminals and dynamic stroke modulation add a handcrafted, slightly dramatic feel that suits sophisticated, narrative-driven typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions with a more animated, flared finish, balancing readability with expressive stroke endings. It aims to provide a familiar, authoritative texture while adding visual motion through swelling terminals and tapered joins.
Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, producing dense, authoritative lines, while the flaring at stroke ends helps keep letterforms distinct. Numerals follow the same contrast and serifed treatment, giving dates and figures a cohesive, classical presence alongside text.
