This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings that read as subtle wedges rather than flat slabs. Capitals feel stately and sculpted, with clean, sharp terminals and a measured rhythm; curved letters show smooth, controlled bowls with narrow hairlines. The lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with compact joins and clear counters, while details like the pointed v and w, the energetic k, and the double-storey g add a distinctly calligraphic edge. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, combining sturdy main strokes with fine, elegant hairlines.
It excels in display and editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and poster titles where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short text passages in high-quality print settings, though the fine hairlines suggest giving it adequate size and reproduction quality.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting authority and sophistication without becoming ornate. Its strong contrast and crisp endings lend a sense of luxury and seriousness, with a classic bookish flavor suited to refined typography.
The font appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions through a dramatic contrast and flared, calligraphy-influenced terminals, creating a prestigious, modern editorial voice. Its consistent modulation and crisp finishing point toward use in polished branding and sophisticated publishing design.
The design’s tapering terminals and swelling stems create a lively texture in text, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and flared endings become a defining visual signature. The punctuation and dots appear compact and dark, reinforcing the confident, print-oriented presence.
