This typeface is a high-contrast serif with tapered, flared terminals that often resolve into sharp wedge-like serifs. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, while curved strokes (C, G, O, Q) are smoothly drawn with noticeable thick–thin modulation, giving the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions lean classical with moderate caps and a restrained, readable lowercase; counters are open and the overall rhythm is even, though widths vary naturally by glyph. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with crisp joins and clean, pointed finishing strokes.
It suits magazine headlines, book covers, and editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired with extra bite from high contrast. It can also work for premium branding and packaging, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful tracking to let the sharp terminals breathe.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its sharp, flared endings add a subtle theatricality—more dramatic than a text oldstyle, but still conservative enough for formal contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with pronounced flaring and crisp, wedge-like finishing strokes, producing a refined yet attention-getting roman. It prioritizes elegant contrast and distinctive terminals to deliver an authoritative, print-forward texture.
The italic is not shown; the sample suggests the roman is optimized for display-to-text sizes, with strong stroke contrast and distinct silhouettes that stay legible in dense settings. Several letters feature emphatic top serifs and tapered feet, reinforcing a chiseled, engraved impression.
