A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and subtly flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs rather than slabs. Curves are smooth and generous, while terminals and joins sharpen into crisp, slightly calligraphic points, giving the letterforms a sculpted feel. Proportions are traditional with a moderate x-height, relatively narrow counters in places, and steady vertical stress that supports strong word shapes. Numerals and capitals carry a dignified, engraved rhythm, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a disciplined, bookish texture.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and display applications where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits brand identities and formal collateral—such as invitations, certificates, and cultural materials—where its classic proportions and sharp, flared detailing can signal tradition and quality.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking literary and institutional typography with a hint of calligraphic elegance. Its sharp terminals and confident contrast lend a sense of formality and authority, while the flared endings keep it from feeling mechanical or purely transitional.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional serif framework with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing, delivering a classic voice that feels both authoritative and expressive. Its contrast and crisp terminals suggest a focus on elegance and typographic presence, particularly in headlines and high-impact text settings.
In text, the contrast and pointed detailing create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes, where the flared finishes and bracketed transitions become more apparent. The design’s crispness suggests it will reward careful sizing and spacing when used in dense settings to preserve clarity.
