A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden out from the stems. The strokes show a calligraphic logic, with thin hairlines and fuller verticals, plus gently modulated joins that keep the outlines lively rather than purely geometric. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in posture, while the lowercase maintains steady rhythm with a relatively traditional texture and clear, sharp entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, producing an elegant, print-oriented presence.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine work where a classic, high-contrast serif can provide elegance and authority. It also performs well for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and formal announcements, especially when you want a refined, traditional feel with distinctive flared terminals.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a polished, formal voice. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast read as authoritative and traditional, evoking book typography, institutional materials, and heritage-minded branding. The flared details add a subtle handcrafted warmth without losing refinement.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif model by emphasizing flared stroke endings and crisp contrast, creating a dignified text face that can also hold its own in display. Its consistent modulation and formal proportions suggest a focus on polished reading rhythm paired with a recognizable, sculpted signature.
In text, the strong thick–thin pattern creates clear word shapes and a bright page color, while the crisp serifs and thin horizontals push it toward comfortable sizes rather than very small UI settings. The design’s flare-driven terminals are a defining signature, giving stems a slightly carved, chiseled finish that stands out in headings.
