A high-contrast serif with sharply defined hairlines and robust verticals, featuring clearly bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give terminals a sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, with narrow joins and crisp apexes; the overall rhythm is lively without becoming decorative. Proportions read as moderately compact in the lowercase with a steady x-height, while capitals feel stately and balanced, producing a clear hierarchy in text and display settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, posters, and brand wordmarks that need a refined, traditional presence with crisp detail.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone with an editorial polish. Its contrast and tapered detailing add a sense of refinement and authority, suggesting classic print culture and formal communication.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif conventions with subtly flared, calligraphic shaping to create a refined, high-contrast texture that reads confidently in both text and display. The consistent tapering and bracketed serifs suggest an emphasis on elegance, hierarchy, and print-oriented clarity.
Counters remain open and legible in the sample text, and the contrast-driven texture creates a pronounced light–dark pattern on the line. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered vocabulary, pairing well with the capitals for headings and data that needs a classic voice.
