This typeface shows a high-contrast serif construction with crisp, tapered stroke endings and subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with a sculpted feel where stems swell and narrow through curves and joins. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase is slightly more lively, with rounded bowls, narrow apertures in places, and a two-storey “g” that adds a traditional text-face character. Overall spacing and rhythm read as measured and deliberate, giving lines a clean, polished texture in paragraph settings.
It performs well in editorial typography, from magazine features to book interiors where a classic serif texture is desired. The sharp detailing and contrast also make it a strong choice for pull quotes, section heads, and sophisticated branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, premium tone.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a refined, bookish voice suited to serious or cultured messaging. Its sharp, tapered details and strong contrast add a sense of elegance and authority without feeling ornamental. The result feels at home in traditional publishing and elevated brand communication.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif letterforms with a more sculpted, flared finish at stroke ends, balancing tradition with a slightly more expressive, chiseled detail. It prioritizes an elegant reading rhythm and a formal presence across both display lines and continuous text.
In text, the contrast and tapered terminals create a bright, slightly sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The numerals share the same crisp serif logic and maintain a consistent, formal presence alongside capitals.
