A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems often widen into subtly flared terminals and bracketed serif shapes, giving the letters a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows lively rhythm with narrow entry strokes, crisp hairlines, and rounded bowls that keep counters open at text sizes. Numerals match the style with strong vertical emphasis and delicate diagonals.
Well-suited to magazine-style headlines, pull quotes, and large-scale editorial typography where contrast and detail can shine. It also fits upscale branding and packaging, as well as book covers and posters that benefit from a classic, refined voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing tradition with a slightly dramatic, display-forward sparkle. Its crisp hairlines and flared endings add a sense of sophistication and formality, making the typography feel elevated and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with added visual flair through flared stroke endings and dramatic contrast. It aims to feel authoritative and cultured while remaining readable and structured in setting.
Spacing appears measured and steady in running text, with clear word shapes and strong vertical stress. The contrast becomes especially prominent in diagonals and joins, which read cleanly at larger sizes and give headlines a distinctive snap.
