A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flaring stroke endings that create a subtle calligraphic feel. The capitals are stately and wide-set with crisp, bracketed serifs and smooth curved transitions, while the lowercase shows a steady rhythm with open counters and compact joins. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are clean and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, Y) are sharp without feeling brittle. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear silhouettes and confident, slightly sculpted terminals.
This face fits best in editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where a classic serif voice is needed. It can also support branding and packaging that wants tradition and authority, and it works well for pull quotes or section titles where the high-contrast detailing adds character.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting credibility and seriousness with a hint of elegance. It reads as bookish and editorial—suited to settings where a classic voice and typographic presence are desirable rather than minimal or purely functional.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional high-contrast serif by pairing crisp, bracketed serifs with gently flared, tapered stroke endings. The goal seems to be a confident, literary display serif that retains classical proportions while delivering a more sculpted, contemporary finish in large sizes.
In text, the strong contrast and crisp serifs give lines a pronounced texture and a distinctly ‘set’ look, especially at larger sizes. The design feels optimized for display and headline use, where the sculpted terminals and flared endings can be appreciated without the strokes becoming too delicate.
