A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that often flare from the stems. Curves are round and full, with smooth transitions into thick verticals and hairline-like joins, creating a sculpted, slightly calligraphic texture. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows energetic details—such as sharp terminals on c/s and a lively, angled foot on t—giving the text a dynamic rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and clear, with strong thick–thin modulation and compact counters that hold up well at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the strong contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated. The font is well-suited to editorial design, book covers, cultural institutions, and branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice, and it can also add dramatic clarity to posters and title treatments.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining a bookish, old-style warmth with a sharper, more theatrical edge. It reads confident and refined, suited to messages that want to feel established, serious, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, sculptural details that create strong presence in display typography while maintaining readable, text-like proportions.
Spacing in the sample text produces a dense, authoritative color, with distinctive silhouettes in letters like Q, W, and g adding character without tipping into novelty. The flared terminals and deep bracketing contribute to a carved, engraved impression, especially in larger settings.
