A high-contrast serif with a crisp, print-oriented finish and subtly flared stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and tapered rather than blocky, with clear modulation from thick verticals to fine hairlines. Capitals feel stately and balanced, with generous counters (notably in O and Q) and a clean, slightly sharp treatment at terminals. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, featuring a two-storey g, compact joins in m/n, and a curved, bracketed foot on t; numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast logic with narrow joins and delicate curves.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine design where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, traditional presence and strong contrast.
The overall tone is literary and editorial—confident, composed, and quietly luxurious. Its sharp hairlines and controlled curves convey a sense of tradition and authority, while the flared endings add a subtle warmth and handcrafted nuance.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, publication-ready serif with elegant contrast and subtle flare at stroke endings, balancing readability with an elevated, formal character for editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the face maintains a steady rhythm with clear word shapes and a pronounced thick–thin pattern that gives lines a polished, bookish texture. Hairlines and fine serifs are prominent, so the design reads especially crisp at comfortable text sizes and larger display settings.
