A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with triangular wedge-like entry and exit points that add bite to the outlines. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tight apertures and decisive joins; diagonals and verticals feel disciplined and upright. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with compact counters, a two-storey “g,” and a single-storey “a,” while numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, stately rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and display settings where contrast and sharp finishing details can shine. It can also support refined branding and formal materials (programs, invitations, certificates) where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone reads classic and editorial—confident, serious, and slightly dramatic due to the strong thick–thin contrast and pointed finishing details. It suggests a literary and institutional voice, balancing elegance with a firm, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif reading of elegance and authority, using pronounced contrast and flared, chiseled terminals to add personality and headline impact while retaining conventional letterforms for familiar typography.
At text sizes the crisp serifs and narrow internal spaces create a dark, punchy color on the line, especially in dense paragraphs. The distinctive tapered terminals and wedge-like details are prominent in capitals and help headlines feel ceremonial without becoming ornamental.
