A high-contrast serif with clear, flared stroke endings and bracketed-looking terminals that broaden as strokes meet their ends. The proportions lean classical with sturdy verticals, generous curves, and a measured, bookish rhythm. Serifs and terminals are refined rather than heavy, with smooth transitions from thick to thin and a stable, upright stance that reads cleanly in both capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazines, longform articles, and book typography where a classic, polished texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding in contexts that benefit from a timeless, premium tone—cultural institutions, publishing, and formal communications.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a touch of warmth and sophistication. Its crisp contrast and confident capitals feel authoritative and editorial, while the slightly lively curves keep it from feeling cold or overly rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and carefully shaped flared terminals, balancing elegance with dependable readability. It aims to provide a cultured, print-forward texture suitable for serious text while retaining enough character for display moments.
The uppercase set feels stately and even, while the lowercase shows more distinctive terminal shaping (notably in letters like a, g, and y), adding personality without compromising the overall calm rhythm. Numerals share the same contrast and finishing, giving them a suitably traditional, text-friendly presence.
