A high-contrast serif with smooth, calligraphic modulation and noticeably tapered stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and often flare subtly from the stems, producing a sculpted, ink-trap-free look rather than blunt terminals. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with sharp apexes and generous inner counters, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with compact joins and crisp shoulders. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper, reading clearly with crisp diagonals and rounded bowls.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where a classic, high-contrast serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and classical signage. Its sharp contrasts and flared finishing strokes add a touch of drama, giving text a refined, premium voice that feels confident and established.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with subtly flared stroke endings, delivering a refined, contemporary take on old-style elegance. Its contrast and taper emphasize sophistication and readability in display and upper text settings.
In the text sample, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a lively vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, while the tapered terminals keep dark areas from feeling heavy. The design favors crisp detail and elegant curves, suggesting best results at medium to large sizes where the contrast and flare can be appreciated.
