A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically applied. Strokes swell and taper with a calligraphic rhythm, producing crisp joins and pronounced thick–thin transitions throughout both caps and lowercase. Proportions read sturdy and traditional, with open counters and relatively generous spacing that keeps the texture clear in words. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with old-style energy in the curves and terminals while maintaining a steady overall color on the line.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book titles, and pull quotes where contrast and refined serifs can carry tone. It can also support upscale branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, crafted serif voice, and it remains legible in short-to-medium text settings where the crisp modulation adds character without overwhelming readability.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting a bookish confidence with a slightly dramatic, display-ready sharpness. Its flared terminals add a touch of craft and tradition, giving text a cultured, formal voice without feeling overly delicate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, calligraphic stroke endings to create a refined face that feels both literary and slightly display-oriented. It aims for a polished, classic texture with enough sharpness and contrast to stand out in titles while retaining composure in continuous text.
Capitals have a strong, upright presence with clean apexes and emphatic terminals, while lowercase details (notably in letters with tails and descenders) show controlled curvature and lively stroke modulation. The font maintains a consistent calligraphic logic across letters and figures, creating a cohesive rhythm in longer sample text.
