A high-contrast serif with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with clear thick–thin transitions and sharp, clean terminals. Proportions lean traditional, with moderate x-height, open counters, and a measured rhythm that stays readable in longer settings while still showing a distinctive, sculptural silhouette in display sizes.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book interiors, and other editorial contexts where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, premium tone with visible stroke contrast.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a classical, bookish sophistication. It reads as confident and formal without becoming ornate, suggesting authority and a premium, cultured sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with added visual character from flared, tapered endings, balancing dignified text performance with an elevated display presence.
Round letters show pronounced contrast and a gently calligraphic stress, while diagonals and joins stay crisp and controlled. The figures match the text color well and maintain the same refined contrast, making them suitable for mixed text-and-numeral settings.
