This serif typeface features sculpted, flared stems and pronounced stroke modulation, giving letters a chiselled, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into tapered, wedge-like terminals, while curves show a smooth, controlled transition between thick and thin. Proportions are traditional and bookish, with generous counters and steady spacing that supports long lines of text. The capitals read stately and compact, and the lowercase balances clarity with a slightly formal, engraved rhythm.
Well suited to editorial design where a classic, high-finish serif is needed for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. It also works for book covers and title pages, cultural institutions, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, authoritative presence.
Overall it conveys a polished, literary tone—confident, traditional, and slightly ceremonial. The sharp terminals and high-contrast shapes add a sense of refinement and authority, making the voice feel editorial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional, flared serif construction with a clean, modern finish: sharp terminals, disciplined contrast, and a text-friendly rhythm that still delivers strong personality at larger sizes.
Round forms like O and Q are smoothly modeled with a noticeable contrast axis, and the Q has a distinctive, elegant tail. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with strong thick–thin interplay and crisp finishing strokes that feel designed for display as well as text.
