A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are predominantly bracketed with a slight flare, giving strokes a carved, traditional feel rather than mechanical flat endings. Uppercase proportions read broad and steady with generous counters (notably in C, O, Q), while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn and the overall spacing feels open, supporting large-size clarity and a confident text color despite the sharp contrast.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine layouts, and book typography where a classic, high-contrast serif can carry a premium tone. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, and can also support refined branding and packaging when set with ample size and comfortable leading.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone with a sense of authority and tradition. Its sharp hairlines and polished curves feel elevated and formal, evoking bookish sophistication and classic print culture.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif voice with pronounced contrast and carefully shaped terminals, balancing traditional forms with a slightly contemporary crispness for modern editorial and branding needs.
Distinctive details include the elegant, sweeping tail on the Q, pointed joins and tapered arms in letters like K and Y, and a two-storey g with a prominent ear and strong contrast. Numerals follow the same old-style-inflected modulation, with slender diagonals and confident verticals that keep the set cohesive in display and running text.
