A high-contrast serif with a crisp, calligraphic stress and tapered curves. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with stems that subtly broaden into flared terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs. Round letters (C, O, Q) show elegant thick–thin modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and decisive, giving the face a carved, stately rhythm. Lowercase forms lean traditional, with a compact, two-storey a, a small-e aperture, and a lively g; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with pronounced thin joins and sturdy verticals.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine titles, book covers, and refined brand marks where a classic, high-contrast serif is desired. It can also work for short passages in editorial layouts when given sufficient size and spacing to preserve the fine strokes.
The tone is authoritative and composed, with a distinctly bookish, editorial feel. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, reading as traditional yet slightly dramatic rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical, calligraphy-informed serif for contemporary editorial and branding use, emphasizing elegant contrast, sharp finishing, and a dignified reading rhythm.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, polished texture, while the flared stroke endings help keep verticals from feeling mechanical. The overall color is on the crisp side, suiting larger sizes and well-spaced settings where the detailing can remain clear.
