A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly flared, calligraphic modulation through the stems and terminals. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and serifs feel gently bracketed rather than mechanical, giving the letterforms a carved, pen-influenced quality. Uppercase forms read stately and spacious with sharp apexes and tapered diagonals; lowercase shows clear rhythm with rounded bowls, a compact, single-storey-style feel in some forms, and energetic tails and descenders. Numerals are elegant and proportional, with varied widths and strong thick–thin transitions that stay crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where its contrast and flared detailing can remain clear—magazine features, book covers, section openers, pull quotes, and premium branding. It can also work for larger-size body copy in editorial layouts where a refined, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with an upscale editorial character. Its high-contrast strokes and flared endings add drama without tipping into ornament, suggesting tradition, craft, and measured sophistication.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a flared, pen-influenced finish, creating an elegant display face that feels traditional yet lively. It aims for a polished editorial presence—high contrast, crisp terminals, and a sculptural rhythm that elevates titles and prominent text.
In text, the contrast and tapering terminals create a lively sparkle and a slightly formal color on the line. Wider shapes (notably in round letters and capitals) balance the sharper, narrower forms, producing a dynamic texture that suits display settings and confident typographic hierarchy.
