A high-contrast serif with a generous, wide stance and crisp modulation between thick stems and hairline joins. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with sharp, calligraphic entry/exit strokes and occasional ball-like terminals. Curves show a slightly oldstyle, pen-driven feeling, while overall construction remains clean and upright. The lowercase is compact and lively, with distinctive, sweeping details on forms like g, j, y, and the diagonals, creating a textured rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial contexts where contrast and personality are desired, such as magazine headlines, book covers, and section titling. It can also support refined branding and poster work at larger sizes, where the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals remain clear and intentional.
The tone reads classic and editorial, with a dramatic, cultivated elegance. Its sharp contrast and energetic terminals give it a slightly theatrical edge, balancing traditional bookish authority with a more expressive, stylized personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with amplified contrast and expressive, calligraphic finishing. It aims to feel traditional and readable while adding distinctive character through wide proportions and animated terminals.
In running text the face creates strong vertical emphasis and pronounced light/dark patterning, especially where hairlines meet heavy stems. The numerals and capitals feel stately and wide, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic movement through curved terminals and angled stress.
