A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and gently flared, bracketed terminals that give the strokes a subtly sculpted finish. Curves are smooth and open, with a relatively narrow internal rhythm and careful modulation through joins, producing a crisp text color without feeling mechanical. Capitals read stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and a clear, readable structure; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant curves and tapered details.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary publishing, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts. It also performs strongly for display typography—headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities—where its contrast and flared terminals can add sophistication and character.
The overall tone is classical and editorial—polished, composed, and slightly dramatic in its contrast. Its flared endings add a cultured, bookish warmth that feels traditional rather than austere, lending an impression of authority and taste.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif readability with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, creating an elegant face that feels at home in editorial settings. It aims for a timeless presence with enough stroke modulation and detailing to stand out in display sizes while remaining composed in text.
Diagonal forms (like V, W, and X) and round letters (O, C, Q) emphasize the font’s smooth modulation, while the terminals consistently taper and flare to maintain a cohesive, calligraphic rhythm across the set. The design favors clarity and elegance over blunt sturdiness, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and terminal shaping are most apparent.
