A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a subtly calligraphic, flared tendency where strokes widen into pointed terminals. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel without looking brittle. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate apertures and clear counters; curves are smooth and round, while joins stay clean and controlled. The lowercase includes a double-storey a and g, a compact, slightly angled ear on g, and a relatively tall ascender rhythm that keeps text lively and well spaced.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine features and editorial layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support premium branding and formal collateral when set with ample leading and comfortable text sizes to let the contrast and terminals resolve cleanly.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than overt display. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of authority and tradition, while the flared shaping keeps it feeling humanist and written rather than mechanical.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on traditional serif text typography, combining classic proportions with a pronounced flared, calligraphic finish to create an elegant, authoritative texture on the page.
Capital forms read stately with generous interior space (notably O and Q) and careful modulation through diagonals in V/W/X. Numerals match the text color with similarly tapered terminals and strong contrast, supporting a cohesive typographic palette.
