A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply tapered joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracketed, with stems that subtly broaden toward the ends rather than stopping abruptly. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and the overall rhythm alternates between hairline connections and weighty verticals, producing a crisp, bookish texture in text. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned; the lowercase shows traditional forms with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and crisp finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and branding that needs a classic, premium voice. It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title treatments where its high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated.
The font conveys a traditional, cultivated tone—polished and editorial—while the flared endings add a slightly ceremonial, engraved character. It feels confident and authoritative without becoming heavy, making it read as classic rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through pronounced flaring and crisp, calligraphic tapering, delivering a refined display texture that still holds together in continuous reading.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin pattern remains clear at display sizes, and the flared terminals help maintain presence in lighter strokes. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the same sharp, tapered finishing style seen in the letters.
