This typeface features strongly modulated, high-contrast strokes with sharp hairlines and fuller verticals. Serifs are small and elegant with a subtly flared, tapered feel at terminals, giving many strokes a gently widening finish rather than blunt endings. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall capitals, narrow rounds, and a compact overall footprint; curves are smooth and controlled, and joins are crisp. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g, a moderate x-height, and distinctive ball/teardrop-like terminals on letters such as j and y, while numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-influenced rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine layouts, book interiors, and literary publishing—where high contrast and refined details can be appreciated. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a cultured, literary character and a touch of drama from the sharp contrast. It reads as traditional and authoritative, evoking classic publishing and refined branding rather than casual or utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with heightened contrast and refined, tapered finishing, combining traditional letterforms with a slightly more dramatic, fashion/editorial edge.
In text, the tight proportions and strong contrast create an energetic, sparkling texture, especially in mixed-case settings. The capital forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase adds personality through tapered terminals and small, calligraphic details.
