A high-contrast serif with sharp, triangular serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a gently swelling, sculpted feel. The design shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, crisp joins, and neatly bracketed transitions in many letters, creating a refined, slightly calligraphic texture. Uppercase proportions read stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters and lively terminals, producing a strong, patterned color in text. Numerals are similarly contrasty and elegant, with clear figure shapes that match the letterforms’ sharp finishing.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp serifs can carry visual hierarchy. It also fits book and magazine typography, refined brand marks, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially when set with generous spacing and careful sizing for clarity.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that feels suited to literature, institutions, and premium branding. Its crisp serifs and dynamic contrast add drama and sophistication without tipping into ornament, conveying authority and tradition with a modern sharpness.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif proportions with a sharper, more sculpted finishing, using flared stroke behavior and strong contrast to add distinction. It aims for an upscale, editorial voice that remains readable while delivering a recognizable, premium texture.
In continuous text the pronounced contrast and pointed finishing create a lively sparkle, especially around curved letters and diagonals. The flared behavior at stroke ends adds a distinctive, slightly engraved character that can read particularly striking at display sizes.
