This serif typeface shows strongly modulated strokes with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flaring terminals that broaden subtly at stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and bracketed-to-flared rather than blunt, giving letters a crisp, chiseled finish. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned with generous interior space, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with compact joins and neatly cut terminals. Numerals share the same calligraphic modulation, with elegant curves and distinct entry/exit strokes that keep figures clear in text.
Well-suited to editorial design such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve refined headlines, pull quotes, and display settings that benefit from high contrast and crisp finishing details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional print typography with a slightly calligraphic edge. Its contrast and tapering details lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the even pacing across words keeps it composed rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical, print-oriented serif by combining traditional proportions with flared, calligraphic stroke endings. It aims for a premium, cultivated presence that remains functional and readable in continuous text.
Curves are drawn with confident, smooth transitions into the thin strokes, and many terminals end in small wedge-like points that reinforce the flared character. The design reads cleanly at text sizes while also offering a sharp, high-end look when enlarged.
