This typeface is a high-contrast serif with tapered strokes that swell and pinch in a subtly calligraphic way, producing gently flared terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than heavy slabs. Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—most noticeably a two-storey “g,” a lively “e,” and a long, slightly angled “f.” Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and clear, traditional shapes.
It is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can also work for branding that aims for tradition and sophistication, especially in larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial polish that reads as authoritative and established. Its crisp contrast and flared stroke endings add a touch of craft and historic warmth, keeping it from feeling purely mechanical or corporate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a flared, sculpted stroke treatment, delivering a classic voice with distinctive, crafted terminals. The goal seems to be a readable, authoritative text-and-display companion that brings elegance and character without becoming ornate.
The rhythm in text is steady and composed, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that create sparkle at display sizes. Curves and joins feel carefully modeled, and the terminals often end in tapered points that emphasize a refined, slightly calligraphic texture.
