A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into the serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress and a lively rhythm, with thin hairlines and assertive main strokes creating a sharp black–white pattern. Serifs are bracketed and elegant rather than blocky, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are smooth and controlled. Numerals and caps present a slightly varied, drawn quality in widths, supporting an organic, bookish texture in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book typography, and literary layouts where high contrast can be appreciated. It can also serve effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially at medium to large sizes where its delicate detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly editorial, literary feel. Its sharp contrast and delicate hairlines add sophistication and a sense of formality, while the slight flaring and calligraphic movement keep it from feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with elevated contrast and elegant flare at stroke endings, balancing tradition with a slightly more expressive, calligraphic edge. Its consistent detailing across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an emphasis on cohesive text setting as well as display use.
In larger sizes the hairlines read particularly fine and precise, giving a bright, elegant color. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample suggest a classic, print-oriented sensibility, and the numerals share the same crisp contrast and tapered finishing strokes.
