This typeface presents a crisp serif structure with pronounced thick–thin contrast and clearly bracketed, subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into the terminals. Capitals are tall and stately with sharp apexes and confident horizontals, while the lowercase shows compact, readable forms with a moderate x-height and energetic curves. Serifs read as wedge-like and sculpted rather than blocky, and transitions into terminals are smooth, giving letters a carved, engraved feel. Figures follow the same contrast and serif logic, with lining proportions that sit comfortably alongside the capitals.
Well-suited to editorial design where contrast and refinement are desirable, including magazine typography, book work, and pull quotes. It also fits brand marks, packaging, and formal communications that benefit from a classic serif voice. At larger sizes, the high-contrast strokes and flared terminals make it particularly effective for headlines and display lines.
Overall it conveys a traditional, cultivated tone—confident and bookish, with an editorial polish. The sharp, high-contrast detailing adds a sense of luxury and seriousness, while the flared terminals keep it lively rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a slightly calligraphic, flared terminal treatment, aiming for an elegant, authoritative reading experience. Its consistent contrast and carefully shaped serifs suggest a focus on refined typography for publishing and sophisticated branding.
The rhythm is decidedly vertical, with strong stems and clean interior counters that help maintain clarity at text sizes. Pointed details on letters like A, V, W, and Y, and the taut curves in C, G, and S reinforce a precise, classical character.
