A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and subtly flared terminals that give many strokes a gently expanding finish. The serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a crisp, engraved feel rather than heavy slabs, and the overall rhythm is steady with clear vertical stress. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face proportions with compact details, moderate apertures, and a clean, controlled curve-to-stem transition. Numerals match the text color well, keeping the same high-contrast logic and tapered joins for a cohesive reading texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book pages, and essays where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from crisp contrast and tapered, flared finishing.
The tone is classical and composed, leaning toward literary and institutional communication. Its high-contrast refinement and controlled flare convey elegance and authority, making the voice feel formal without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic book serif by combining traditional proportions with lively flared stroke endings and crisp, high-contrast detailing. The goal seems to be a versatile text-and-display face that reads as authoritative and cultured while remaining visually distinctive.
In text, the face maintains a dark, confident line with distinct stroke endings that add definition at larger sizes. The contrast and fine terminals create a slightly more delicate sparkle, suggesting careful size selection for longer passages versus display settings.
