This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, finely tapered terminals and bracketed serifs. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, with pointed apexes (notably in A and W) and sharp, clean joins. The lowercase has a relatively short x-height with compact bowls and narrow apertures, while ascenders and descenders read long and refined. Curves are smooth and controlled, and many letters end in subtly hooked or angled finishing strokes that add a decorative, engraved-like texture without becoming overly ornate. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight stems with flowing curves and delicate terminals.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and formal print work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also perform nicely in headlines, pull quotes, and identity systems that benefit from sharp, refined details, particularly at medium to large sizes.
Overall, the tone is traditional and literary—polished, authoritative, and somewhat ceremonial. The sharp serifs and calligraphic finishing give it a refined, bookish character that feels at home in classic publishing and formal branding.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, high-end reading experience with a touch of decorative sharpness—balancing classical serif proportions with crisp, stylized terminals for a distinctive catalog and editorial voice.
In text, the combination of short x-height and strong contrast yields an elegant rhythm, with a slightly sparkling texture at larger sizes. The lowercase forms (especially a, g, e, and s) lean toward an oldstyle sensibility, while the capitals maintain a composed, inscriptional presence.
