A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a distinctly sculpted, flared treatment at many stroke ends. Serifs read as fine and bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that add a chiseled feel without becoming slabby. Curves are smooth and round, counters are open, and spacing feels measured for continuous reading; the overall rhythm is steady, with crisp joins and clear stroke modulation. Numerals share the same contrast and tapering, giving figures a polished, bookish presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography where high contrast and crisp serifs can signal authority—magazine features, book interiors, and refined headlines. It also fits identity work for cultural, academic, or luxury contexts, particularly in display sizes where the flared terminals and sharp hairlines can be appreciated.
The font projects a composed, literary tone—confident and traditional, with a refined sharpness that suggests heritage publishing and cultural institutions. Its flared, tapered endings add a subtle sense of craft and ceremony, keeping the voice elegant rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared finishing, creating a classic reading voice that still feels distinctive in headlines. The emphasis on tapering and fine serifs suggests a priority on elegance and typographic color over neutrality.
Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, while lowercase maintains a familiar text-seriffed structure with pronounced contrast and tidy terminals. The sample text shows strong word-shape definition and a clean texture at larger sizes, with the thin parts becoming a key stylistic feature.
