This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Serifs are fine and bracketed rather than blocky, and joins feel crisp with a steady vertical stress. Capitals read stately and slightly narrow in impression, with broad curves in C/O and a carefully controlled rhythm across the set. The lowercase shows a compact, traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, a modestly sized eye, and slender hairlines that heighten the contrast in text. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with delicate finishing strokes and strong thick–thin modulation.
It performs well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and fine finishing can be appreciated. It is also a strong choice for luxury identity work and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, particularly when set with ample spacing and high-quality output. For longer passages, it suits more considered, well-spaced editorial typography where delicacy and detail are an asset.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining old-style sophistication with a slightly dramatic contrast. Its flared detailing adds a crafted, engraved quality that feels formal without becoming rigid. The result is a confident, elevated voice suited to cultured and editorial messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif voice with contemporary crispness, using flared terminals and pronounced contrast to add sophistication and visual drama. It balances traditional proportions with sharp finishing to create a premium, editorial-ready texture.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and hairline serifs create a crisp page color with pronounced sparkle, especially at larger sizes. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) feel generous and smooth, while diagonals and arms (K, V, W, Y) remain clean and controlled, reinforcing a refined, print-oriented character.
