A high-contrast roman with crisp bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Stems are sturdy while hairlines and joins narrow noticeably, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm. Terminals tend to be sharp and slightly flared, with rounded bowls that stay disciplined and symmetrical. Proportions feel balanced with moderate cap width and an even, readable lowercase, while curves and diagonals (notably in K, R, V/W, and y) show carefully controlled tapering.
It performs well in editorial settings—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book typography—where contrast and serif detailing can add hierarchy and tone. It also suits refined branding and printed materials such as invitations, programs, and certificates, especially when set at medium to large sizes where its hairlines and bracketed serifs can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a polished, bookish character that reads as established and trustworthy. Its contrast and sharp finishing give it a slightly dramatic, upscale presence suited to sophisticated messaging rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, premium reading voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished serifs, balancing tradition with a slightly sharper, more contemporary crispness. It aims to provide strong typographic authority for titles and comfortable, structured texture in continuous text.
Uppercase forms project a stately, inscriptional feel, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture for paragraphs. Distinctive details like the sweeping Q tail and the gently tapered joins add personality without becoming decorative. Numerals echo the same contrast and serif treatment for consistent color in mixed text.
