A high-contrast serif with sculpted, tapered stems that broaden into subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs. The stroke modulation is pronounced, with crisp joins and sharp triangular accents in places, giving counters a clean, open feel. Proportions are traditional and steady: capitals are stately and slightly wide, while lowercase forms keep a balanced, readable rhythm with moderate apertures and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same formal construction, with elegant curves and strong vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and chapter titling, and premium branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It should perform especially well at display sizes in print or on the web, where its contrast and shaped terminals can read as intentional, refined details.
The overall tone is formal and literary, with a confident, institutional presence. Its crisp contrast and shaped terminals evoke classic print typography and lend an authoritative, editorial character to headings and display text.
Likely designed to provide a classic serif voice with added dynamism from tapered, flaring stroke endings, combining traditional proportions with a more sculptural, calligraphic finish for impactful display typography.
The face shows consistent flare behavior across verticals and diagonals, helping letterforms feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Spacing appears even in the sample text, and the high contrast remains stable at larger sizes, where the detailing in serifs and terminals becomes a key part of the personality.
