This serif typeface shows sculpted, high-contrast letterforms with a distinctly drawn, slightly calligraphic modulation. Stems broaden into tapered, flared endings and the serifs read as fine, bracketed terminals rather than blunt slabs. Capitals are stately and open, with generous interior space and smooth curves; lowercase forms are balanced with a moderate x-height and clear ascender/descender rhythm. Overall spacing feels comfortable and even, supporting clean word shapes at text sizes while retaining sharp detail in the joins and terminals.
It suits editorial environments such as magazines, long-form reading, and literary or academic layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, premium feel.
The tone is traditional and polished, with a bookish, editorial confidence. Its crisp contrast and flared finishing give it a cultured, slightly ceremonial presence that suggests quality print typography.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with expressive flared stroke endings, delivering a dignified reading texture while preserving a distinctive, drawn character in display settings.
Round letters (like O/C) are broad and calm, while diagonal forms (V/W/X/Y) keep a controlled, chiseled energy through tapered stroke endings. Numerals appear proportionate and readable, matching the serif vocabulary and contrast of the letters.
