A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weightier, sculpted main strokes that subtly swell and taper at stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a gently flared, cut-stone feel rather than blunt slabs. Proportions read as classical with moderate x-height, open counters, and a steady, upright axis; spacing appears even, supporting smooth text rhythm. Curves are round but controlled, and joins show a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps the shapes lively without looking decorative.
This font suits editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desirable. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding where contrast and finely finished details can be shown at larger sizes.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, balancing authority with polish. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing details suggest editorial sophistication and traditional craft, producing a composed, formal voice suited to elevated messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif voice, pairing strong contrast and crisp detailing with subtly flared stroke endings for a crafted, premium feel. It aims to remain readable in text while offering enough personality for display use.
Capitals have a stately presence with clean, sweeping curves (notably in C, G, O) and confident diagonals (V, W, X). Lowercase forms stay conventional and readable, with distinctive tapered terminals and a lively, slightly calligraphic italic-free texture even in roman. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, giving figures a dignified, print-forward character.
