A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, with pointed, triangular touches on letters like A and W, and crisp beak-like details on forms such as G. Round characters (O, Q, 0) are compact and smooth, while diagonals and joins stay clean and controlled, producing an even, formal rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a traditional construction with a double-storey a and g, and a tidy, slightly calligraphic flow through curves and arcs.
It performs well in display settings such as headlines and pull quotes where the contrast and tapered finishing add sophistication. In longer passages, it maintains a clear, traditional texture appropriate for books, editorial layouts, and premium brand materials, especially where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography with a confident, slightly dramatic contrast. It feels formal and authoritative without becoming overly ornate, projecting a composed, literary voice suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif construction with sharpened, flared finishing to increase elegance and definition. It aims for a versatile, publication-ready feel that can move between commanding titles and readable text while retaining a distinctive, sculpted character.
Capitals read stately and well-balanced, with strong vertical presence and carefully managed negative space. Numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment, with old-style-like curvature and tapered finishing that keeps them consistent with the text color in running copy.
