A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared stroke logic: main stems appear to widen subtly into tapered, bracketed terminals, while hairlines stay very fine and crisp. The capitals are broad and dignified with sharp, triangular serifs and clean, open counters; curved letters show smooth modulation and a controlled, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and steady, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” delicate joins, and short, precise serifs that keep texture even in setting. Numerals follow the same contrast and detailing, reading sharply with elegant curves and pointed finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a refined serif voice is needed. It also works effectively for display applications—titles, pull quotes, packaging, and formal brand identities—where the high contrast and sharp terminals can read as premium and authoritative.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting authority and taste rather than loud personality. Its sharp contrast and tapered endings add a sense of ceremony and sophistication that suits cultured, print-like communication.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared finishing, creating a face that feels both traditional and distinctive. Its controlled contrast and crisp terminals suggest a focus on elegance in headlines while retaining enough regularity for extended reading in comfortable sizes.
Spacing appears measured and on the open side, helping the strong stroke modulation stay legible in larger text sizes. Several letters show slightly pointed, wedge-like feet and tops that reinforce the flared impression and give headlines a crisp sparkle.
