This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with tapered, flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than slabbed. Curves are smooth and controlled, with moderately narrow apertures and a steady vertical stress, giving the forms a composed, bookish rhythm. Uppercase proportions are stately with crisp terminals, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with clear ascenders and descenders; the ‘a’ and ‘g’ appear two-storey and the ‘e’ has a small, tidy eye. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with sharp joins and elegant curves that read well at display and text sizes in the sample.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where a classical serif voice is appropriate. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal materials like invitations and certificates, and can serve effectively for headlines and pull quotes when set larger.
The overall tone is formal and polished, projecting a traditional, literary sensibility with a hint of calligraphic warmth from the flaring and tapering. It feels authoritative and composed rather than playful, suited to contexts where clarity and prestige are desired.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with refined flared detailing, achieving a high-contrast look that stays readable in continuous text. The consistent tapering and careful curves suggest a focus on elegance and editorial versatility across both display and body settings.
In text, the type maintains an even color despite the high contrast, with crisp punctuation and strong word shapes. The flared terminals and bracket transitions help soften the contrast and keep lines from feeling overly sharp or brittle, especially in larger sizes.
