A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp hairlines set against sturdy main stems. Serifs are finely bracketed and often feel subtly flared, giving stroke endings a tapered, chiseled look rather than blunt terminals. Capitals are tall and stately with tight, controlled curves (notably in C, G, and S), while lowercase maintains a traditional book-face skeleton with compact bowls, a two-storey a, and a double-storey g with a pronounced ear. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, with delicate joins and sharp, confident curves.
This face performs best in editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other headline or subhead settings where high contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also suits premium branding and printed ephemera (programs, invitations, packaging) where a classic serif tone communicates quality and tradition.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, combining classical authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward crispness. It reads as serious and cultivated, suited to contexts that benefit from a refined, literary voice.
The design intention appears to be a refined, classical serif optimized for elegant display and editorial use, blending traditional proportions with crisp, high-contrast drawing and subtly flared, bracketed endings for a distinctive, upscale finish.
Rhythm is relatively tight and disciplined, with narrow letterforms and clean spacing that keeps text color even at display sizes. The italics shown are absent; the samples present a consistent, upright roman voice with carefully balanced counters and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
