A high-contrast serif with a broad, generously spaced stance and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like feet and pointed joins that give capitals a carved, incisive profile. Bowls are smooth and relatively open, while curves transition quickly into hairline horizontals and thin terminals, creating a bright, shimmering texture in text. The lowercase shows calligraphic modulation with compact ascenders/descenders and distinct terminals (notably in forms like a, e, and s), and the numerals follow the same sharp, elegant contrast with pronounced curves and thin cross-strokes.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and refined headlines where contrast and sharp serif detail can be appreciated. It works especially well for title pages, section openers, and pull quotes that need a classic voice with elevated presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, slightly theatrical sharpness that reads as editorial and prestige-oriented. Its strong contrast and pointed detailing lend a sense of refinement and drama, suited to high-end publishing aesthetics rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret conventional text-serif structure with heightened contrast and widened proportions, aiming for a sophisticated, print-forward look. Its pointed serifs and polished modulation suggest a focus on elegant display and editorial hierarchy while retaining familiar, readable letterforms.
The wide proportions and clear internal counters support legibility at display and larger text sizes, while the hairlines and keen terminals create a delicate finish that benefits from good rendering and adequate size. In longer setting, the rhythm alternates between dense verticals and very thin horizontals, producing a lively, elegant color.
