This typeface is a serif with pronounced stroke contrast and softly flared, bracketed terminals that give stems a subtly calligraphic taper. Capitals are broad and steady with crisp, triangular serifs and a slightly sculpted feel in joins and curves. Lowercase shows compact bowls and clear modulation, with sturdy verticals and tapered horizontals; the a has a two-storey structure and the g appears double-storey with a prominent ear. Numerals are weighty and traditional in construction, with strong vertical stress and refined, sharp finishing details.
It is well suited to headlines, magazine titling, book covers, and other editorial settings where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding and logotypes that aim for a traditional, literary voice.
The overall tone feels classical and editorial, combining seriousness with a warm, bookish refinement. Its strong contrast and crisp serifs convey authority and tradition, while the flared shaping keeps it from feeling mechanical or rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with a slightly calligraphic, flared finish—balancing strong contrast and crisp serifs with a warmer, more crafted rhythm for impactful display and editorial typography.
Spacing appears relatively generous at display sizes, and the silhouette is defined by sharp wedge-like serifs and tapered stroke endings that create a lively rhythm across words. Round letters (C, O, Q) show a clear vertical stress, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep consistent weight distribution without looking spindly.
