A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered joins and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a gently sculpted feel. Serifs are sharp and bracketed rather than blocky, with pointed terminals on diagonals and a calligraphic modulation throughout. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderately wide capitals, clear round forms, and a lowercase with compact bowls and steady rhythm. Numerals share the same contrast and taper, reading as elegant and slightly display-leaning at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form print where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high-contrast detail and sharp serif definition.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a refined, editorial character. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast convey authority and tradition, while the flared shaping adds a crafted, slightly dramatic edge.
The design appears intended to echo classical serif proportions while emphasizing calligraphic contrast and flared stroke shaping for a more sculpted, premium feel. It aims to balance text utility with enough sharpness and contrast to carry display roles convincingly.
In text, the contrast and tapered details create a lively texture with noticeable sparkle, especially in curves and diagonals. The uppercase has a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains readability with clean counters and consistent stroke logic.
