A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Serifs read as sharp and sculpted, with moderate bracketing and crisp joins that give the shapes a carved, print-oriented feel. Proportions are generous and steady across the set, with open counters, clear internal spacing, and a slightly expansive horizontal stance that keeps dense text from feeling cramped. Numerals appear oldstyle (with varied heights and descenders), reinforcing a traditional, bookish rhythm.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where a classic serif tone is desired. It also performs convincingly in display settings—titles, pull quotes, and refined brand applications—where its contrast and flared terminals can carry a premium, traditional voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting confidence and formality without becoming austere. Its crisp contrast and flared details add a hint of historical sophistication, lending an editorial, cultivated voice to headlines and text alike.
Likely intended as a contemporary interpretation of classic serif construction, emphasizing elegant contrast and flared finishing strokes to achieve a timeless, print-centric presence. The design aims to balance distinctive detailing with familiar letterforms for dependable readability in both text and display sizes.
The design’s contrast and pointed terminals create strong sparkle on the line, while the open apertures and even spacing support continuous reading. Lowercase details (like the double-storey a and g) feel conventional and familiar, balancing the more distinctive flared finishing strokes.
