A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Curves are smooth and generous, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, clean joins. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with an orderly rhythm in text and slightly more characterful, tapered details in the lowercase (notably the hooks and descenders). Numerals match the text tone with strong contrast and restrained, old-style-like shaping.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, magazines, and cultural journalism where contrast and serif detailing support a traditional reading experience. It also performs well for display applications—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where the tapered terminals and crisp modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, projecting a quiet confidence associated with established publishing and classic typography. Its tapered details and crisp contrast add a touch of luxury and formality without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a more sculpted, flared stroke treatment, offering familiar readability while adding a distinctive, polished texture. It aims to feel authoritative and literary, with enough high-contrast finesse to elevate editorial typography.
In paragraphs, the face maintains a steady cadence and clear word shapes, while the flared stroke endings add subtle sparkle at larger sizes. The capitals have a dignified presence suited to titling, and the lowercase shows enough idiosyncrasy to feel designed rather than generic.
