A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the stems a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded bowls and pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially visible in letters like O, C, and S. The uppercase shows stately proportions and crisp terminals, while the lowercase features a moderate x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and a traditional two-storey a and g. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, maintaining the same refined rhythm and crisp detailing.
Well-suited for magazine layouts, book typography, and other editorial contexts where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry long-form reading with a classic voice. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a polished, upscale impression.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, projecting a sense of polish associated with book typography and editorial design. Its sharp serifs and elegant contrast feel formal and composed, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-leaning finish in display sizes.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a slightly sculptural, flared-stem treatment, creating a refined face that feels at home in both text and display roles. Its consistent contrast and crisp detailing suggest a focus on elegance, clarity, and typographic authority.
Spacing and sidebearings read balanced in text, with a steady cadence that supports paragraph settings while still showing strong personality in enlarged headlines. The flared joins and tapered terminals add warmth compared to purely mechanical Didone-style construction, without losing crispness.
