A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply finished terminals. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving strokes a sculpted, calligraphic feel while maintaining a conventional book-face structure. Capitals are tall and stately with clear vertical stress; curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q show pronounced contrast and clean joining. Lowercase forms are compact and traditional, with a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and tapered shoulders; numerals follow the same formal rhythm with old-style influence in their varying heights and distinctive curves.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text in editorial layouts where high contrast can be shown clearly. It also fits book jackets, cultural branding, premium packaging, and formal invitations, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is cultured and authoritative, balancing classical book typography with a touch of theatrical contrast. It reads as polished and prestigious, suited to settings where typographic voice should feel established and confident rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast text serif for contemporary publishing and brand typography, emphasizing elegance, hierarchy, and a traditional literary voice while remaining clean and disciplined in structure.
In text, the contrast produces a lively shimmer and strong word shapes, while the tight apertures and firm verticals create a dense, editorial color. The ampersand and numerals add a decorative, slightly baroque note without tipping into ornamented display styling.
