A high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Capitals are stately and balanced with sharp, clean apexes (notably in A, V, W) and confident vertical stress in rounded forms like O and Q. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with a two-storey a and g, open counters, and gently shaped joins, creating a smooth, readable flow at larger text sizes. Numerals are similarly refined, with delicate curves and pronounced contrast that keeps figures elegant rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book jackets, and cultured branding where elegance and authority are desired. It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display text; it can work for short passages when set with comfortable size and leading to maintain clarity of the finest strokes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting quiet luxury and editorial sophistication. Its crisp contrast and flared terminals suggest a classic, cultivated voice suited to premium contexts rather than casual or rugged messaging.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a slightly calligraphic, flared finish, delivering a distinctive yet familiar editorial texture. It aims for refinement and hierarchy, offering a confident display presence while maintaining a coherent text rhythm.
Spacing appears generous in running text, enhancing the airy, upscale feel and helping complex forms remain distinct. The design relies on thin connecting strokes and sharp terminals, so it reads most confidently when given enough size and printing/rendering quality to preserve its fine details.
