A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty verticals, and softly bracketed serifs that broaden into subtly flared stroke endings. Curves are smooth and slightly oval, with a measured, bookish rhythm and moderate aperture sizes that keep counters clean at display sizes. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey a, a compact, slightly earred g, and a slender f with a pronounced head, while capitals are stately and evenly balanced. Numerals follow the same contrast model, combining crisp entry strokes with fuller verticals for a polished, editorial feel.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book jackets, and section openers—where its contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It also fits branding and identity work that aims for heritage, luxury, or cultural authority, and works best in headlines and larger text settings.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking printed literature, institutional credibility, and premium editorial design. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted detailing add a touch of sophistication and ceremony without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif tradition with a slightly sculptural, flared finish, delivering a refined display voice that still feels grounded in readable, print-oriented letterforms.
Serif shaping reads as gently bracketed rather than slab-like, with several strokes widening into flared endings that give the face a subtly carved, inscriptional character. The design favors clarity in larger sizes, where the fine hairlines and small details remain a defining feature.
