This serif features pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline connecting strokes, with sharply tapered terminals and flared transitions that give the serifs a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins stay crisp, producing a clean rhythm at large sizes. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and sturdy vertical stress, and the numerals follow the same contrast-driven, engraved-looking logic.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also serve well in premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, with a confident, formal presence that reads as established and cultured. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add a touch of drama and refinement, making it feel suited to premium, curated contexts rather than casual ones.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a face that feels both classic and slightly theatrical. It aims to provide strong headline presence while retaining a disciplined, editorial structure for longer-form composition.
In text settings the contrast and hairline details become a defining feature, so the face visually rewards comfortable sizes and good rendering conditions. Round letters maintain a consistent stress, and capitals carry a stately, inscription-like weight distribution that helps create strong headline silhouettes.
