This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared terminals and clean, sharply cut serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic logic, with confident thick–thin transitions and rounded joins that keep the shapes from feeling brittle. Capitals are sturdy and formal, with broad curves in C/G/O and a strong vertical emphasis; the Q has a distinct, elegant tail. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a gently tapered, bracketed finish on many stems. Numerals share the same contrast and finish, with old-style-like curvature cues that keep them harmonious in text.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads, magazine typography, and book work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support brand identities that want a refined, traditional tone, especially in titles, pull quotes, and packaging copy set at comfortable sizes.
Overall, it reads as classic and editorial—polished, bookish, and slightly ceremonial. The flared endings and crisp contrast add a dignified, traditional tone that feels suited to premium print contexts rather than utilitarian UI. In larger settings it can feel stately and authoritative, while in text it maintains a composed, literary voice.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif authority with a sculpted, contemporary crispness. Flared stroke endings and careful contrast suggest an aim for elegance in display while retaining enough structural clarity for extended reading at larger text sizes.
The sample text shows steady color at larger sizes, with pronounced contrast and finely finished terminals that reward generous leading and comfortable measure. Curves and diagonals (notably in S, V/W, and y) carry a subtle calligraphic tension, giving the design character without becoming decorative.
