A sharp, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, subtly flared terminals that give the strokes a sculpted feel. Serifs are crisp and generally bracketed, with angled joins and a calligraphic rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are stately with slightly narrow bowls and clean apexes, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with lively curves and tight, controlled apertures. Figures show the same contrast and taper, producing a bright, polished texture in setting while preserving distinct letterforms.
Well suited to editorial design, book jackets, and magazine typography where contrast and refinement can carry the page. It performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and titling, and can also serve for premium branding systems that want a classical serif voice with crisp, contemporary clarity.
The overall tone is literary and sophisticated, balancing classic book typography with a slightly theatrical, display-ready edge. It reads as confident and cultured—suited to formal messaging without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of elegance with added energy from flared terminals and calligraphic shaping, creating a face that can move comfortably between text-driven layouts and attention-grabbing display use.
Notable is the consistent flare at stroke endings and the sharp, clean entry/exit strokes, which add sparkle in larger sizes. The contrast and tapered details create strong hierarchy, but also suggest careful size choice to avoid delicate details closing up in very small reproduction.
