This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply tapered joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, while bowls and curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and pointed inner corners. Proportions are slightly condensed with tall capitals and a steady, traditional rhythm; lowercase forms are compact and clean, with round dots and firm vertical stress. Numerals follow the same engraved logic, mixing strong verticals with tapered, hairline connections for a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where the contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic serif voice with added sharpness and sophistication, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical bookish authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion-leaning sparkle from the sharp terminals and high contrast. It feels formal and composed rather than casual, with an upscale presence suited to curated, premium typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model by emphasizing flared stroke endings, crisp wedge serifs, and pronounced thick–thin contrast to achieve an elegant, high-impact voice for editorial and brand use.
In the sample text, the font creates a bold, luxurious color at large sizes, where the tapered details and flared endings read as intentional styling rather than delicacy. The sharp apexes and pointed joins add energy to capitals, while the lowercase maintains clarity through restrained widths and clean counters.
