This serif shows a high-contrast, calligraphic construction with smooth transitions from thick verticals to fine hairlines. Stems and serifs subtly flare and taper, creating wedge-like terminals and bracketed connections rather than blunt slabs. Counters are generally open and rounded, with a clear, slightly modulated rhythm across the alphabet; the lowercase has softly cupped joins (notably in n/m) and a two-storey a with a small, sharp ear. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and a Q featuring a sweeping, calligraphic tail. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes.
This font suits editorial typography, literature-oriented layouts, and magazine design where a refined serif voice and strong typographic color are desired. It works well for display and section headings, and can also support comfortable reading in larger text sizes where the contrast and tapered terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, balancing classical dignity with a slightly contemporary sharpness. The flared, chiseled endings add a crafted, inscription-like confidence without feeling ornamental or delicate.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model with flared, calligraphic stroke endings that suggest inscriptional or pen-derived roots. Its proportions and contrast aim to deliver a confident, cultured presence for editorial and brand-forward typography.
In text, the design maintains a lively sparkle from the hairlines while keeping strong vertical anchoring, giving paragraphs a structured, editorial feel. Curves are smoothly drawn and the terminals are consistently angled, which reinforces a cohesive, carved-through-pen aesthetic across letters and figures.
