A high-contrast serif with tapered, subtly flared terminals and finely bracketing serifs that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Vertical stems read firm and narrow, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q) swing with controlled modulation from hairlines to heavy strokes. The overall rhythm is crisp and slightly formal, with pointed joins and narrow apertures that keep the texture compact; counters remain open enough to stay legible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, disciplined structure, with a distinctive Q tail and lively diagonal energy in letters like K, V, W, and Y.
Performs best in editorial contexts—headlines, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling—where its high contrast and tapered serifs can read cleanly. It also suits luxury branding and formal printed materials such as invitations or certificates, particularly when set with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is classic and cultivated, evoking editorial sophistication and traditional book typography with a slightly theatrical edge from the sharp, tapering details. It feels suited to refined, high-end communication—authoritative without being overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, elegant serif voice with pronounced contrast and flared finishing, balancing traditional serif structure with a sharper, more calligraphic edge for display-forward typography.
Stroke contrast is pronounced, so thin horizontals and hairlines become a key part of the personality, especially in E/F/T and in the lowercase where entry/exit strokes taper decisively. The narrow proportions create an economical line while preserving a graceful, stately presence in larger settings.
