A refined serif with pronounced contrast and gently sculpted, flared stroke endings that transition into crisp bracketed serifs. The forms show a classical, calligraphic stress and a steady vertical stance, with slightly generous letter widths and open interior counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals and joins feel sharpened and intentional, giving the face a clean rhythm and strong typographic color at text sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a composed, bookish presence with clear differentiation and balanced proportions.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can carry headlines and subheads with authority while remaining readable in longer passages, and it also fits branding applications that call for a traditional, polished tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking editorial and literary contexts where clarity and gravitas matter. Its high-contrast modeling and crisp finishing lend a dignified, slightly dramatic voice that reads as established and trustworthy rather than casual.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtly flared, sculptural stroke endings, creating a premium text-and-display face that feels both traditional and freshly cut. Its proportions and contrast suggest a focus on elegant readability and strong typographic presence in print-like layouts.
Round letters (like C, O, and S) keep generous counters and maintain consistent contrast, while diagonals and joins (notably in V, W, and K) are sharply resolved. The lowercase maintains a calm texture with sturdy stems and distinct serif cues, and punctuation in the sample text appears crisp and prominent, supporting expressive headline and pull-quote settings.
