A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sculpted, subtly flared terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a controlled, calligraphic modulation that shows clearly in curved strokes and diagonals. Proportions feel slightly expanded, with open counters and generous spacing that keeps the texture airy even at larger sizes. The lowercase is steady and readable, with a two-storey a and g and clean, tapered joins that reinforce a formal, bookish rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book packaging where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also performs strongly in display contexts—headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications—where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated at size.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining classical elegance with a crisp, contemporary finish. Its high-contrast strokes and flared endings add a hint of ceremony, making it feel premium without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif: elegant, spacious, and high-contrast, with flared stroke endings that add distinction and warmth to an otherwise restrained, editorial voice.
Round letters stay smooth and evenly tensioned, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) remain sharp and well-balanced. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, reading as traditional and suited to text and titling where a polished serif voice is desired.
