A serif typeface with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtle flaring where strokes meet terminals. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clean, sharply finished joins. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in rhythm, while the lowercase shows restrained calligraphic influence with compact bowls, pointed entry/exit strokes, and a relatively tidy, even texture in running text. Numerals are proportionate and elegant, with open counters and tapered details that match the serif treatment.
Well suited to book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and other long-form settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a formal, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying refinement and authority without feeling ornate. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast add a sense of sophistication and seriousness suited to literary and institutional contexts.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a classic serif for reading, pairing traditional proportions with sharper, more sculpted terminals and flared endings to add character and emphasis. The intent appears to balance dignified text performance with enough personality for prominent editorial use.
The design emphasizes clarity through open apertures and well-defined counters, but the sharp serifing and high modulation give it a display-leaning sparkle at larger sizes. In paragraphs it maintains a composed rhythm, with distinctive, slightly sculpted details that keep the page from looking generic.
