This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a relatively upright stance. Capitals feel stately and compact with sharp apexes and narrow joins, while lowercase forms are more lively, featuring tapered terminals and rounded, ink-trap-like interior corners in places. The rhythm is driven by strong vertical stems and delicate hairlines, and the numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast, sculpted logic for a cohesive text and display color.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, book jackets, and section openers—where high contrast and crisp serifs can read as premium and literary. It can also serve for formal branding and invitations, and for short to medium text blocks where a classic, high-contrast texture is desirable.
Overall the tone is traditional and polished, with a distinctly editorial flavor. The high contrast and sharp serifs add a sense of authority and ceremony, while the slightly idiosyncratic lowercase details keep it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading-serif voice with elevated contrast and sharp, fashion-oriented detailing. It balances traditional proportions with slightly expressive terminals to perform both as a text face and as a confident display option.
The ampersand is compact and decorative, and several lowercase letters show prominent teardrop or ball-like terminals that add personality at larger sizes. Curved letters (such as S, C, and G) emphasize calligraphic stress, creating a dynamic texture in paragraphs, especially in bold headline settings.
