A high-contrast serif with sharply defined thick–thin modulation and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and generous, while terminals and joins stay crisp, giving letters a polished, print-like finish. Uppercase proportions feel stately with wide, stable forms (notably in O and Q), and the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic stress. Numerals match the text color well, with clear, open counters and pronounced contrast that reads confidently at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and subheads in magazines, book jackets, and cultural/editorial layouts where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can also serve in premium branding and packaging when a traditional, literary voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, evoking classic book typography and upscale editorial design. Its contrast and flared details add a touch of drama without feeling decorative, balancing seriousness with refinement.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on classic serif lettering—combining strong contrast and flared, bracketed endings to deliver a dignified, editorial voice with a slightly calligraphic sophistication.
The italics are not shown; all samples appear upright. Spacing and sidebearings look tuned for comfortable reading in larger text, while the sharp serifs and contrast suggest it will feel most at home where print-like crispness is desired.
