A high-contrast serif with crisp, flared terminals and bracketed serifs that widen subtly as they meet the stems. The curves show a pronounced vertical stress, with round letters (C, O) opening into tapered joins and pointed finishing strokes. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase combines sturdy verticals with lively, wedge-like endings and a two-storey a. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with a clear, traditional rhythm suited to text and display settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a traditional serif voice is desired. The pronounced contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, chapter openers, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone feels classical and bookish, with a composed, editorial confidence. Its sharp, calligraphy-informed endings add a refined edge that reads as formal and slightly ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with distinctly flared, calligraphic stroke endings to create a refined, authoritative reading experience. It balances traditional structure with sharper, more expressive terminals to add personality in both display and extended text.
Stroke modulation is consistent across the alphabet, and the flare behavior is especially visible on E, F, T, and the diagonals of V/W/Y, giving lines a subtly sculpted, ink-on-page character. Round counters remain open and clean in text, and the punctuation and apostrophe style appears compact and traditional in the sample setting.
