A high-contrast serif with tapered, flaring stroke endings and small, sharply cut serifs that feel more shaped than mechanically appended. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with a slightly sculptural modulation that gives bowls and diagonals a lively rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains clear, open counters and a readable, traditional texture. The overall color on the page is crisp, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a gently calligraphic draw in joins and terminals.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine work where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs well in headings due to its crisp contrast and sculpted details. The refined finishing makes it a strong option for branding, packaging, and formal print pieces such as invitations or programs.
The font conveys a classic, bookish authority with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance. Its sharp terminals and confident contrast read as formal and editorial, evoking traditional printing and literary typography rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared finishing, aiming for a distinguished voice that remains readable in continuous text while offering added character for display use.
Distinctive flared terminals and tapered stems give many letters a subtle wedge-like finish, creating a sense of motion even in upright forms. The numerals and capitals share the same contrast and finishing, helping headings and mixed-case text feel cohesive.
