A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty main strokes, creating a crisp vertical rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with pointed, calligraphic terminals on letters like C, E, and S that add a gently dramatic finish. Proportions lean classical: capitals are stately and open, lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height, and curves (O, Q, e, s) show smooth modulation. The design reads cleanly in text while retaining display-like sparkle from its thin connections and tapered joins.
Well suited to editorial layouts, books, and magazines where contrast can add sophistication to headings and pull quotes. It can also work for formal branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals remain distinct.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, with an editorial sophistication that feels traditional rather than decorative. Its contrast and tapered details lend a sense of ceremony and seriousness, suitable for refined communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional reading experience with elevated contrast and refined finishing, balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more dramatic detailing for strong typographic presence.
Uppercase forms feel especially composed and monumental, while the lowercase shows lively, slightly calligraphic details such as the teardrop-like ear on the g and the sharp-angled terminals on r and a. Numerals are clear and classic, with strong contrast and crisp endings that align with the letterforms.
