A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller verticals, giving letters a crisp, chiseled profile. Serifs are bracketed and subtly flared, with pointed, wedge-like terminals that feel drawn rather than purely mechanical. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, and the overall rhythm is steady, with clear stroke modulation across rounds and diagonals. Lowercase shows a traditional construction with a two-storey “a,” compact bowls, and a slightly pointed “w,” while figures are oldstyle-like in feel, with varied heights and strong thick–thin transitions.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and refined detailing can shine. It can also serve book covers and interior titling, formal invitations, and brand marks seeking a classical, premium voice. For longer passages, it works best at comfortable sizes and with adequate leading to preserve clarity of the hairlines.
The tone is traditional and cultured, with an editorial polish that suggests books, magazines, and institutional communication. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a touch of drama and elegance, reading as authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a timeless serif voice with a subtly flared, calligraphic finish—balancing classical proportions with sharper, more contemporary crispness. Its contrast and sculpted terminals suggest an emphasis on elegance and impact in both display and refined text settings.
At display sizes the tapered terminals and fine hairlines create a lively sparkle, especially in curved letters. In text, the pronounced contrast and crisp detailing give a dignified texture that favors well-spaced settings and high-quality output.
