A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Serifs are finely bracketed rather than slabby, and joins are clean with tight inner counters. Uppercase forms read tall and stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O) and a distinctive Q featuring a sweeping, calligraphic tail. Lowercase shows compact, bookish construction with a two-storey a, a looped g, and a slender, slightly right-leaning f; spacing appears moderately tight, producing a steady, text-forward rhythm. Numerals are lining and high-contrast, with crisp wedge-like finishing strokes that match the capitals.
This face is well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, book jackets, and feature openers—where its contrast and tapered details can read as intentional and premium. It can also work for formal branding, invitations, and pull quotes, especially when set at display sizes or in well-printed text settings.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, balancing traditional book typography with a touch of dramatic contrast. It feels elegant and serious, suited to contexts that benefit from a cultured, editorial voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to evoke classic serif tradition while adding energy through pronounced contrast and flared, tapered finishing strokes. Its forms prioritize elegance and presence, aiming for a refined reading experience and confident display impact.
The design maintains a consistent contrast pattern across cases, with thin horizontals and hairlines that become visually prominent at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs. The ampersand is compact and ornamental, reinforcing the font’s editorial personality.
