This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp yet subtly bracketed, giving joins a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Counters are generally open and oval, curves are smooth and controlled, and verticals read as dominant, producing a steady rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a generous x-height and compact ascenders/descenders relative to the body, while capitals are stately with crisp apexes and strong hairlines. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with clear, traditional forms and refined detailing.
It suits editorial design, magazine features, and book typography where crisp contrast and a refined serif voice are desired. The strong capital forms and sculpted terminals also work well for headlines, cultural branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish confidence. Its sharp hairlines and flared terminals add a touch of refinement and ceremony, making it feel traditional without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a more sculptural finish, using flared endings and sharp hairlines to deliver elegance and emphasis while remaining suitable for extended text. It aims for a confident, literary voice that can scale from reading sizes to prominent titles.
In larger settings the hairlines and flared ends become especially prominent, giving the letterforms a slightly engraved, display-like polish. The shapes maintain consistent contrast and detailing across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive page color in continuous reading.
