A high-contrast serif with tapered, flaring stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals resolve into crisp points and narrow beaks, giving counters a clean, open look. Proportions lean toward a traditional book-face structure with moderate extenders and a steady baseline rhythm, and the lowercase shows clear, two-storey forms (notably a and g) with compact, disciplined shaping. Numerals and capitals read with an engraved, display-leaning presence—particularly in the sharp diagonals and the pointed treatment on letters like V, W, and Y.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and chapter titles, magazine typography, and refined branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, letting the high contrast and sharp terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with an old-world, literary flavor. Its contrast and sharpened terminals add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared finishing, producing an elegant face that feels both classic and slightly engraved. Its shapes prioritize refined detail and a poised reading rhythm for sophisticated typographic settings.
In text, the pronounced contrast and flared terminals create a lively, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a consistent, upright stance with carefully controlled modulation that keeps the page color crisp.
