A high-contrast serif with tapered, flaring stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that transition smoothly out of the stems. The proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, open counters, and a calm vertical axis with crisp, controlled curves. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y), while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic rhythm—curved joins and teardrop-like terminals on letters such as a, c, e, and f. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with rounded forms (8, 9) balancing the more angular shapes (4, 7).
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired, and equally effective for display use thanks to its crisp contrast and stately capitals. It can support refined branding, invitations, or cultural institutions that benefit from a classic, authoritative typographic presence.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, reading as confident and authoritative without feeling rigid. Its flared endings and lively contrast add a subtle humanist warmth that suggests literary and editorial tradition.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif through pronounced contrast and flared, calligraphy-informed terminals, producing a face that feels both timeless and distinctive on the page.
The italic is not shown; the samples present a consistent upright roman voice. At text sizes the strong thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals create a distinctive texture, with capitals commanding attention in headline settings while lowercase remains legible through open inner shapes.
