A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, sculptural presence. Serifs are fine and pointed, with crisp joins and a clean, controlled rhythm; curves are smooth and relatively compact, while verticals dominate the structure. Proportions feel traditional and steady, with generous capitals and a lowercase that reads clearly in text, supported by neat, minimally ornamental details in figures and punctuation.
This face is well suited to editorial design, book and magazine headlines, and cover typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding, formal announcements, and event materials that benefit from a traditional, high-end tone. In longer passages it will work best at comfortable sizes and with sufficient spacing to preserve the fine serifs and contrast.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a classic bookish elegance. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making it feel suited to prestige contexts rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, authoritative serif voice with heightened contrast and carefully tapered, flared finishing to add elegance and impact. It aims for a refined, print-forward look that bridges display strength with controlled text legibility.
In running text the letterforms maintain a consistent, disciplined texture, with dark strokes and bright internal counters creating a pronounced black–white pattern. The numerals and capitals have a dignified, display-ready presence, while the lowercase keeps enough restraint to remain readable at moderate text sizes.
