A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that read as sculpted rather than slab-like. Curves are generous and smooth, while key junctions and apexes stay sharp, creating a crisp, formal rhythm. The capitals show classical proportions with a stable baseline and prominent vertical stress; the lowercase keeps open counters and clear differentiation, with a two-storey “a” and single-storey “g” contributing to a traditional book-face feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with elegant curves and confident, slightly calligraphic shaping.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine features where an elevated, classic serif voice is needed. It also performs strongly for headlines, identity systems, and premium packaging that benefit from crisp contrast and refined detailing.
The overall tone is polished and literate, balancing authority with a graceful, slightly dramatic sparkle from the contrast and flaring. It feels at home in contexts that aim for heritage, credibility, and quiet luxury rather than overt modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with more expressive, flared stroke endings, producing a face that feels traditional yet distinctive in display and editorial settings. Its controlled proportions and consistent modulation suggest a focus on both readability and a cultivated, high-end impression.
Large sizes show the lively modulation and wedge-like finishing most clearly, where the flared terminals and bracketing give strokes a carved, inked quality. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting readable word shapes in continuous text while still providing strong display presence in headings.
