A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and flared terminals that give stems a subtly calligraphic, carved quality. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with pointed wedge-like finishing on many letters, and hairlines that stay fine and clean at display sizes. The proportions feel moderately classical: rounded forms are full, counters are open, and capitals are stately without feeling overly wide. Lowercase shows a clear two-storey a and g, a narrow, upright rhythm, and a consistent stress that reinforces a formal text-and-display texture.
This font suits editorial typography such as magazine headings, pull quotes, and book or journal titling where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits premium branding and packaging, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs that benefit from a classic, crafted serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that reads as literary and premium. The sharp terminals and strong contrast add a touch of drama, while the controlled spacing and upright posture keep it composed and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif through pronounced stroke contrast and flared, chiseled terminals, balancing traditional readability with a more dramatic, display-forward finish.
Figures are similarly high-contrast and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with elegant curves and pronounced stroke modulation that pairs well with the letterforms. In running text, the font produces a crisp, slightly formal color, and the flared endings help maintain distinct letter shapes even when hairlines become very thin.
