This typeface presents a high-contrast serif construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as subtly calligraphic rather than mechanical. Serifs are crisp and finely bracketed, with pointed terminals and a polished, bookish rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Counters are generally open and round, with smooth curves in letters like C, O, and e, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show keen, blade-like joins. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, combining sturdy verticals with delicate hairlines and refined terminals.
It suits long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazines, where high contrast and refined serifs can create an elegant page color at comfortable sizes. It also performs well for display uses—chapter titles, pull quotes, and cultural or luxury branding—where its sharp terminals and flared finishes can be appreciated. For formal communications, invitations, and programs, it provides a classic, elevated voice.
Overall it conveys a traditional, cultivated tone—associated with literature, institutions, and established brands—while the flare and sharp finishing details add a touch of sophistication and ceremony. The result feels authoritative without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a subtly calligraphic finish, using flared stroke endings and strong contrast to create a refined, authoritative texture for both text and display settings.
The capitals are stately and spacious, with classic proportions and prominent vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a clear, readable texture in text settings. Round letters maintain consistent curvature, and terminals frequently end in a slight swell or taper that reinforces the flared impression.
