A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a confident, carved feel. Serifs are sharply defined and mostly bracketed, with a calligraphic transition into stems rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase forms are stately and proportioned for display with generous counters (notably in C, O, and Q), while the lowercase is compact and sturdy with a moderate x-height and clear, traditional shapes. Numerals follow the same contrast and sharp terminal language, reading cleanly at larger sizes with a distinctly print-oriented rhythm.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine sections, book jackets, and formal branding where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and certificates, especially when set with comfortable leading to preserve its high-contrast clarity.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography, newspapers, and institutional print. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of seriousness and polish, while the flared finishing keeps it from feeling overly mechanical.
The font appears designed to deliver a timeless, print-classic serif voice with a sharpened, slightly flared terminal treatment that adds distinction in titles and prominent text. It prioritizes elegance and authority through contrast, refined serifs, and balanced proportions.
The design shows a consistent engraving-like logic in how strokes swell into terminals, producing a lively rhythm across lines of text. In paragraphs, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a pronounced texture, suggesting it will look best where there is enough size and spacing for the contrast to breathe.
