A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into the terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sculpted rather than blunt, with wedge-like entry and exit strokes that give the letterforms a slightly calligraphic, carved feel. Uppercase proportions are stately with sharp apexes and crisp horizontals, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with rounded bowls, a double-storey “g,” and gently tapered curves. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and lively shapes, reinforcing a traditional, text-forward texture.
This design is well suited to book typography and long-form editorial settings where contrast and refined serif detailing can carry a premium tone. It also performs strongly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or luxury branding where a classic voice with distinctive terminals is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing formality with a warm, humanistic snap. Its crisp contrast and sculpted terminals suggest a classic, editorial sensibility suited to sophisticated, tradition-leaning design.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast serif typography by combining traditional proportions with flared terminals and crisp, sculptural detailing. The goal seems to be clear readability with elevated character for editorial and display use.
Spacing and rhythm read even in paragraphs, with distinct letter shapes (notably the “a,” “g,” and “Q”) adding character without becoming ornamental. The flared endings and bracketed serifs create a subtly dynamic baseline texture, especially visible in larger sizes.
