This typeface is a high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and slightly bracketed, with a subtly flared feel where strokes widen into their terminals, giving the letters a sculpted, carved impression. Uppercase forms are stately and generously proportioned, with smooth curves and crisp joins; lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a gently angled crossbar on “e.” Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, with elegant curves and pointed terminals that read cleanly at display sizes.
It performs best in editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and brand identities that benefit from a classic, upscale voice. The strong contrast and sharp serifs also make it a good choice for pull quotes, section openers, and other display applications where detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and classical, evoking literary and institutional authority. Its crisp contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of sophistication suited to premium, formal communication.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif letterforms with crisp, flared finishing and a contemporary smoothness, balancing traditional readability with a more fashion-forward, display-ready presence.
In running text the rhythm is calm and even, while the pronounced contrast and pointed terminals become more prominent as size increases. The capitals and figures feel especially display-oriented, with refined curves and a slightly dramatic silhouette that supports headline use.
