This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered joins and subtly flared stroke endings that read as sharp, wedge-like serifs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with clean, classical construction, while the lowercase mixes rounded bowls with compact, well-controlled counters. Curves are smooth and open, terminals tend to finish in fine points, and the overall rhythm alternates bold vertical emphasis with hairline cross-strokes for a polished, high-contrast texture. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, combining sturdy main strokes with delicate finishing details for a cohesive text-and-display feel.
It performs especially well in editorial typography—magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes—where contrast and sharp finishing details can add hierarchy. It also suits book covers, luxury branding, cultural institutions, and formal announcements or invitations that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The tone is refined and authoritative, suggesting tradition and craft rather than neutrality. Its crisp contrast and pointed finishing details lend a sophisticated, slightly dramatic presence suited to premium editorial voices.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast serif: dramatic enough for display, yet controlled and consistent for extended text. Flared endings and pointed terminals add distinction while preserving familiar, literary proportions.
In text setting the face creates a strong vertical cadence and clear word shapes, with punctuation and dots appearing clean and prominent. The design maintains consistency across capitals, lowercase, and figures, keeping a formal, print-oriented character even at larger sizes.
