A high-contrast serif with pronounced modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, flared finish to many strokes. Stems often widen as they approach terminals, and serifs are sharp and bracketed, producing crisp entry and exit points. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly proportioned, with pointed apexes (notably in A and W) and clean, open counters; the uppercase G shows a strong, sculpted inner form. Lowercase shapes keep a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a slightly triangular/angled ear on g; the t has a restrained crossbar and a tapered head. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with elegant curves and clear differentiation between figures.
This face is well suited to headlines and subheads where the contrast and flared terminals can read as intentional detail. It also fits editorial and book typography, particularly for literature, culture, and opinion-driven layouts that benefit from a classic serif voice. For branding, it works well in logos and wordmarks that aim for refinement and tradition.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a slightly dramatic, engraved-like crispness. The flared endings and sharp terminals lend a confident, ceremonial character that feels well suited to traditional publishing and heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended to modernize classical serif proportions with a distinctly flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a polished, authoritative text-and-display voice. Its controlled geometry and sharp details suggest an emphasis on elegance and strong typographic color rather than neutrality.
Spacing and stroke rhythm read controlled and consistent in text, with strong vertical emphasis and clear word shapes. The sharp terminals and pronounced contrast create a lively texture at display sizes, while the conventional lowercase structures support continuous reading when set with appropriate size and leading.
