A high-contrast serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and broader vertical stems that flare into subtly bracketed terminals. The proportions feel balanced and bookish, with moderate x-height, clear differentiation between thick and thin, and relatively open counters for readability. Curves are smoothly drawn with a gentle calligraphic stress, and many stroke endings widen slightly into flared, wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs, giving the forms a crisp, sculpted finish.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs well for display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks—where the contrast and flared details can read as premium and authoritative.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward an editorial, literary voice. Its strong contrast and pointed details add a touch of drama and formality, while the steady rhythm keeps it composed rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with heightened contrast and crisp, flared finishing strokes, blending traditional book typography with a sharper, more contemporary edge for editorial impact.
Uppercase forms show a confident, inscriptional presence, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable texture with distinct, darkened joins in letters like n and m. Numerals appear lining and proportioned for text, with the same sharp contrast and tapered terminals carrying through consistently.
