A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the contours a calligraphic, engraved feel. Strokes transition sharply between thick verticals and hairline joins, while serifs are bracketed and elegantly shaped rather than blunt. Counters are open and oval, curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm feels measured and even. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact, sturdy “m,” and a “g” with a clear ear and loop, supporting comfortable text composition.
This font suits editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is important. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance and classical detailing.
The tone is refined and literary, projecting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate. It reads as classic and composed—well suited to environments where typographic polish and a sense of heritage are desirable.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional serif forms with heightened contrast and flared, calligraphic endings, aiming for a premium, print-forward voice that remains structured and readable in continuous text.
Capitals have a stately presence with clean, sharply defined hairlines and confident vertical stress, while the numerals match the same contrast and serif detailing for consistent texture in mixed settings. At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and terminals become a defining feature, adding a sophisticated sparkle to headings and pull quotes.
