This typeface presents a high-contrast serif structure with sharp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that taper into thin hairlines. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that shows up in the bowls and the ends of strokes. Uppercase forms feel stately and fairly open, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear counters and compact joins. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate thin strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions.
Well-suited to editorial design where contrast and detail can be appreciated, such as magazine features, book typography, and cultured branding. It can also work for headlines and display lines that benefit from a refined, classical serif voice, while remaining readable in longer passages when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward classic book typography and editorial sophistication. Its crisp serifs and refined contrast convey seriousness and tradition, while the flared terminals add a touch of warmth and handcrafted character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading experience with a slightly sculpted, flared-serif finish—balancing traditional bookish authority with a more contemporary crispness in its terminals and edges.
Stroke endings often resolve into pointed, tapered forms rather than blunt cuts, creating a distinct sparkle at text sizes. The italic is not shown, but in roman setting the face keeps a composed vertical stance with clean, decisive serifs and a consistent contrast pattern across letters and figures.
