This is a high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with pointed, calligraphic-feeling terminals on several letters, creating a lively rhythm. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display or titling, while the lowercase shows a traditional text structure with clear counters, a two-storey “g,” and a compact, well-behaved “a.” Overall spacing reads even and composed, and the figures appear lining with similarly sharp, high-contrast detailing.
It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also suits magazine and book typography (titles and section openers) and premium branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional voice.
The tone is classic and polished, leaning toward an editorial, bookish sophistication. Its dramatic stroke modulation and sharp finishing details add a sense of luxury and seriousness, suitable for contexts that want authority without looking rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience enhanced with fashion-forward contrast and sharp finishing details. It aims for a confident, cultured presence that bridges classical book typography and contemporary editorial styling.
Diagonal letters like V, W, X, and Y show pronounced thick–thin transitions, and the curved forms (C, G, O, Q) emphasize elegant hairline connections. The “Q” has a distinct, calligraphic tail, and the numerals carry the same refined contrast and crisp serif treatment, helping text and numbers feel stylistically unified.
