A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a calligraphic, chiseled feel. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with crisp joinery and a lively interplay between hairlines and thicker verticals. Proportions lean toward classical book serif structure: roomy counters, a moderate x-height, and clear differentiation between round and straight forms. Numerals and capitals keep an even, disciplined rhythm while retaining delicate detailing at terminals and curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and cultural or academic publishing—where its refined contrast and classic proportions can shine. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding applications that benefit from a graceful, traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking traditional print typography and a sense of measured sophistication. Its crisp hairlines and refined terminals read as formal and premium, with a quiet literary character rather than a loud display voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif typography, combining crisp high-contrast drawing with subtly flared terminals to add warmth and craft. It aims for a balanced reading rhythm with enough refinement to carry premium editorial and branding settings.
The design shows consistent contrast behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures, with thin horizontals and diagonals that contribute to a bright, airy texture at larger sizes. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and a) emphasize smooth, controlled curves with pointed finishing strokes, reinforcing the flared, sculpted impression.
