A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a gently sculpted, flared feeling where strokes taper into terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a traditional, bookish construction and controlled curves throughout. Uppercase proportions read stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear differentiation between rounds and stems. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with open counters and elegant, tapered ends that keep the texture lively in text.
It performs especially well in display and editorial contexts—magazine headlines, book cover titling, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks—where its contrast and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short text passages when size and reproduction allow the hairlines to remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and authority rather than playfulness. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence suitable for sophisticated settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with elevated contrast and subtly flared shaping, creating a dignified, print-classic look that feels authoritative and polished in modern editorial layouts.
In text, the contrast and fine joining details add sparkle and a pronounced vertical emphasis; at smaller sizes the thinnest hairlines and delicate terminals may become more visually fragile than the main strokes. The ampersand and capitals contribute a distinctly formal, print-oriented character.
