A high-contrast serif with sharply modeled strokes and clear calligraphic stress. Stems and arms show subtle flaring as they approach terminals, with bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and taut, counters stay open, and the overall rhythm is evenly spaced with slightly lively, varied proportions across capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrasty construction, with elegant curves and crisp, pointed details where strokes resolve.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and brand identities aiming for a classic, upscale voice; in longer passages it will work best at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a confident, editorial presence. Its sharp modeling and pronounced contrast convey formality and sophistication, while the flared endings add a touch of warmth and tradition rather than stark modernism.
Designed to deliver a polished, traditional serif voice with contemporary sharpness. The flared terminals and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to blend classical inscriptional cues with strong editorial contrast for impactful display and readable text settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase shows more personality in the curved letters and in the delicate entry/exit strokes. In text, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a pronounced typographic color that feels best when given room to breathe.
