A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a gently sculpted feel. Capitals are stately and proportionally wide, with clean, pointed apexes in A and V and a confident, traditional E/F structure. Lowercase shows a two-storey a, a generous, open e, and a distinctive g with a prominent ear; curves are smooth and fairly round, while joins remain tight and controlled. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with bracketed details and elegant curves, producing a consistent, print-oriented texture in both the glyph grid and the paragraph sample.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also performs convincingly in display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and cultural branding—where the sharp serifs and flared detailing can carry a sophisticated tone without becoming overly ornamental.
The tone reads classical and editorial—polished, authoritative, and slightly dramatic due to the contrast and sharp finishing. It evokes bookish refinement and traditional craftsmanship rather than minimal modernism, lending text a cultured, established voice.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with subtle, calligraphic flare, creating a polished text-and-display hybrid. Its proportions and contrast aim for a refined page color, while distinctive terminals and confident capitals provide presence for titling and branding.
Spacing appears even and deliberate, with a steady rhythm in mixed-case text and clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms (notably the distinct Q tail and the strong, curved S). The flaring at terminals adds warmth and movement compared with a purely transitional serif, while the sharp serifs and narrow joins keep the overall impression crisp.
