A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves transition into straighter strokes with noticeable tapering at joins, and counters stay relatively open despite the strong thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with pointed apexes (notably in A and V), while round letters like O and Q show a refined, moderated stress and a clean, minimal tail. Lowercase forms keep a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, sharp ear/terminal details, and a small, precise i/j dot; figures appear lining with strong contrast and clean baseline alignment.
Well suited to editorial layouts where contrast and sophistication are desired, including magazine typography, book interiors, and pull quotes. It also performs strongly for display settings such as headlines, formal announcements, and invitations where its sharp serifs and flared stroke endings can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking book typography and classical editorial design. Its sharp terminals and flared details add a slightly dramatic, cultured character without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, authoritative serif voice with added elegance through strong contrast and subtly flared terminals. It prioritizes a polished, print-oriented texture that remains readable while projecting refinement.
At text sizes the contrast and tapered joins create a lively vertical rhythm, while the flaring at stroke ends helps keep the texture from feeling purely mechanical. The design reads as a contemporary take on classic serif construction, balancing crispness with a hint of pen-derived movement.
