A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals and sharply tapered, flared terminals that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic finish. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with pointed entry/exit cuts visible on letters such as A, V, W, and y. Counters are generous and round (notably in O, Q, e), while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with clear differentiation between stems and bowls. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel due to their varied silhouettes and pronounced contrast, pairing well with the font’s strong, sculpted rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and large text where the sharp contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated—magazine titles, poster typography, and book covers in particular. It can also serve well for branding and identity work that needs a classical, authoritative voice with a bit of flourish.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, balancing traditional bookish credibility with a more theatrical, display-forward edge. The sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add drama and authority, making the face feel refined but assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classical serif voice with amplified contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals to increase impact in display contexts. It prioritizes strong silhouette and typographic presence, while maintaining conventional serif structure for a familiar, trustworthy reading impression in short passages.
Capitals have a wide, monumental presence with stable horizontals (E, F, T) and emphatic diagonals (K, X). The Q features a distinct, sweeping tail, and the a and g are single-storey, reinforcing a slightly more old-world, calligraphic character despite the upright posture. Spacing in the sample text reads dense and impactful, supporting bold headline settings.
