A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes, bracketed serifs, and frequent flared or wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a cut-and-carved look. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/Q and the bowls of b/p), while joins and terminals often finish in pointed, slightly calligraphic tips. Proportions mix stately capitals with comparatively lively lowercase shapes; several letters show distinctive construction details such as a looped, double-storey g and a curving-tailed Q. Numerals follow the same tapered, serifed logic, with angular, stylized figures and crisp finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book covers, and posters where its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling can be appreciated. It also fits formal invitations or branding that wants a classic serif feel with a touch of decorative flair, and it can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, but with a playful edge created by the sharp, tapered terminals and slightly idiosyncratic letterforms. It suggests a curated, old-world atmosphere—more storybook and ornamental than strictly academic—while still reading as a traditional serif voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through a more ornamental, calligraphic shaping—keeping familiar structures while amplifying contrast, taper, and terminal drama to create a distinctive display texture.
Spacing and rhythm lean toward display use: the contrasty stroke endings and pointed serifs create lively texture, especially in mixed-case settings. Diacritics are not shown; the sample highlights how the distinctive terminals and narrow joins become a key part of the font’s personality at larger sizes.
