A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply finished details. Serifs are small to moderate and largely bracketed, with frequent beaked terminals and teardrop/ball-like ends on several lowercase forms. The uppercase shows broad, stable proportions and smooth, rounded bowls, while the lowercase mixes compact counters with lively, calligraphic inflections in joins and terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with curving strokes and distinctive angled or hooked terminals that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where contrast and refinement are an asset. It can also work for high-end branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice with extra bite. For longer reading, it will perform most comfortably at moderate-to-large text sizes and in well-printed or high-resolution contexts.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and literary flavor. Its strong contrast and sculpted terminals add drama and a sense of tradition, making the texture feel premium and slightly theatrical rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, balancing familiar proportions with display-forward sophistication. It aims to project clarity and prestige while adding stylistic personality through sharp finishing and calligraphic touches.
In paragraph settings the font creates a pronounced rhythm from the alternating heavy stems and hairline connections, and it benefits from ample spacing and size to keep the thin strokes from visually receding. The design’s character comes through strongly in curved letters (C, G, S, a, e) and in the expressive terminals of r, j, and the figures.
