This typeface presents a high-contrast serif voice with pronounced bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and sheared details introduce a mild calligraphic energy without becoming ornamental. The lowercase shows open apertures and rounded bowls, with a fairly traditional rhythm and moderate spacing that stays clear at text sizes. Numerals are sturdy and balanced, with strong contrast and crisp serifs that align well with the capitals.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where contrast and serif detail can add character. It also performs strongly for headlines, section openers, and refined brand identities that benefit from a traditional, authoritative serif tone.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial—confident, cultivated, and slightly dramatic in its contrast. It reads as formal and literary, lending a sense of tradition and authority while remaining approachable for contemporary composition.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic serif model: strong contrast and crisp serifs for elegance, paired with flared, calligraphic touches to keep the texture lively and distinctive across both display and text settings.
Distinctive pointed and flared terminals add liveliness, especially on diagonals and curved strokes, creating a subtle “inked” impression. The capitals have a stately presence suited to titling, while the lowercase maintains an even texture that supports longer reading.
