A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered serifs and subtly flared stroke endings where stems meet terminals. Vertical strokes are strong and straight, while curves are smoothly modeled with a clear thick–thin rhythm that reads as slightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly proportioned, with compact counters and sharp apexes; lowercase is sturdy and readable with rounded bowls, a two-storey “g,” and short, neat serifs that keep the texture coherent. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, producing a consistent, traditional color in text.
It suits editorial design—magazines, essays, and cultural journalism—where a refined serif voice and strong typographic hierarchy are needed. It can serve as a book face for short-to-medium text runs and excels in headlines, pull quotes, and display lines where contrast and sharp terminals add sophistication. Its formal character also fits luxury or heritage branding and printed materials such as invitations and programs.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic publishing and institutional typography. Its sharp contrast and controlled detailing lend a sense of formality and authority, while the gentle flare at terminals adds a touch of warmth and crafted elegance.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model by pairing traditional proportions and a disciplined contrast with subtly flared, sharpened terminals for extra presence. It aims for an authoritative, print-oriented texture that remains legible while projecting elegance.
In paragraph settings the font produces a pronounced vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, with slightly compact internal spaces that contribute to a dense, editorial texture. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a confident roman suited to setting with comfortable leading.
