This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a slender overall color and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems are strong and straight, while joins and terminals show subtle flaring and tapering that give strokes a sculpted, ink-influenced finish. Serifs are small and sharp with lightly bracketed transitions, and counters are relatively tight, reinforcing a compact rhythm. The lowercase presents a traditional book-face structure with a moderate x-height, two-storey a, a double-storey g, and narrow, upright forms that keep lines tidy and vertical.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book typography, and refined headlines where contrast and sharp detailing are assets. It can also support premium branding and packaging when set with generous spacing and ample size to showcase its crisp serifs and tapered terminals.
The design reads as formal and polished, balancing classical authority with a slightly calligraphic edge. Its crisp terminals and controlled contrast convey an editorial, literary tone suited to sophisticated settings rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The font appears designed to deliver a classical serif voice with heightened contrast and controlled, flared detailing, providing a distinctive finish while maintaining traditional readability. Its proportions and rhythm suggest an intention to perform in composed text and display settings where elegance and structure are central.
The sample text shows strong vertical emphasis and a clean baseline, with punctuation and numerals matching the same sharp, high-contrast logic. At larger sizes the tapered terminals and flared stroke endings become more noticeable, adding a distinctive, engraved-like refinement to headings and pull quotes.
