A high-contrast serif with sculpted, tapered stems that widen subtly into flared terminals and bracketed serifs. Curves are generous and smooth, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharp, crisp apexes. The lowercase is compact and steady with a moderate x-height and rounded bowls, while the capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned. Overall rhythm is firm and slightly calligraphic, with clear hairlines, strong verticals, and a refined, print-like texture in paragraphs.
This font performs especially well in headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where contrast and a refined silhouette add hierarchy. It also suits book and magazine settings for short-to-medium text blocks, as well as brand marks and packaging that call for a traditional, authoritative serif presence.
The tone reads classic and editorial, conveying authority and polish without feeling ornamental. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a confident, cultivated voice suited to traditional, literary, and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with subtly flared, tapered stroke endings to create a distinctive, elegant texture. It prioritizes a polished reading rhythm and strong typographic hierarchy while retaining a recognizable, traditional voice.
Numerals and capitals appear carefully balanced for display as well as text, with sturdy main strokes supporting delicate joining hairlines. The design maintains clarity at larger sizes, where the tapered terminals and contrast become a defining feature.
