A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a slightly calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with stems that subtly broaden toward terminals, giving a flared, carved feel rather than purely mechanical slab endings. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is even, with clear vertical stress and neatly finished joins and diagonals.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine heads, book covers, and section titles where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, invitations, and poster-style compositions that benefit from a classic serif voice and sharp finishing.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial settings. Its sharp, high-contrast modulation and tapered endings add a sense of refinement and seriousness, with an old-style elegance that still reads clean and contemporary in display sizes.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a slightly flared, sculptural finishing that adds character without sacrificing legibility. It aims for a polished, authoritative texture in text and a confident, elegant presence in display.
Uppercase proportions feel stately and stable, with strong verticals and well-contained curves in letters like C, G, and S. Lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure with distinct forms (notably the two-storey a) and compact terminals that keep text color firm and consistent. Numerals appear lining and relatively tall, matching the cap-height presence in headlines and titling.
