A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and tapered joins that create a subtly calligraphic, sculpted look. Vertical stems read strong and steady while curved strokes narrow and swell with noticeable modulation, giving counters a refined, slightly dynamic shape. Serifs are not blocky; instead they widen out of the strokes with a soft, flared transition that keeps the texture crisp rather than heavy. Proportions feel traditional with clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase, and a slightly varied letterfit that produces a natural, literary rhythm across words.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs as a refined display option for headlines, pull quotes, and titling in print or high-resolution digital contexts. The flared endings and contrast make it a strong choice for formal materials like invitations or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, crafted tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting tradition and authority without feeling stiff. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing strokes add a hint of elegance and ceremony, suitable for text that wants to feel cultivated and intentional. The rhythm reads composed and literary, with a mild handwritten undertone that keeps it from appearing purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, tapered finishing to add elegance and a subtly hand-shaped character. It aims for a polished reading texture with enough contrast and detail to feel premium in both text and display settings.
The numerals appear proportioned and formal, with pronounced contrast and curved forms that match the letters’ tapered logic. Across the sample text, the face maintains a consistent sparkle from thin strokes and crisp terminals, suggesting it will reward thoughtful sizing and spacing where its fine details can remain clear.
