A high-contrast serif with flared, bracketed terminals and sharp, well-defined serifs that taper cleanly into thin hairlines. The letterforms are relatively compact with tall capitals and a tighter, more vertical rhythm, while round characters (like O and C) show pronounced thick–thin modulation. Diagonals and apexes are crisp, and several lowercase forms carry calligraphic cues—most notably a single-storey g with a rounded bowl and an ear, and a slightly hooked, lively f and j. Figures follow the same contrasty, old-style influence, with elegant curves and narrow interior counters.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly in magazine settings and refined headlines. The high contrast and flared terminals make it effective for premium branding, invitations, and display applications where a traditional, elevated tone is important.
The overall tone is cultivated and traditional, with an editorial polish that reads as confident and composed. Its flared endings and sharp transitions add a subtle dramatic edge, lending the face a bookish, authoritative character rather than a casual one.
Likely designed to evoke classical, print-driven serif typography with a contemporary crispness, combining strong contrast and flared stroke endings to create elegance and authority. The aim appears to be a readable, editorial workhorse with enough distinctive detailing to stand out in titles and pull quotes.
Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting a steady text color despite the strong contrast. The ampersand is decorative and prominent, and the lowercase shows noticeable personality in its terminals and entry/exit strokes without becoming overtly ornamental.
