This typeface shows a traditional serif structure with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, flared stroke endings. Serifs are wedge-like and often subtly bracketed into the stems, giving terminals a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a mechanical slab. Capitals are stately with generous curves and confident vertical stress; the lowercase is compact and steady, with a two-storey “g,” a looping “k,” and a “t” that has a short crossbar and tapered foot. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, and especially effective for magazine typography, pull quotes, and section heads. It can also support premium branding and formal printed materials when set with comfortable leading and not-too-tight tracking.
Overall tone is classic and literary, with an elevated, editorial polish. The sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes lend a poised, slightly dramatic presence that feels suited to cultured, established messaging rather than casual UI text.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic, print-oriented serif with calligraphic influence, using flared terminals and high contrast to create a refined, authoritative voice. It prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition, aiming for strong presence in display and well-composed text settings.
In text, the rhythm is driven by strong verticals and narrow joins, producing a crisp color on the page. The contrast and delicate features suggest careful use on light backgrounds and at sizes where the hairlines won’t disappear, while headings can take advantage of the elegant flare and sculpted terminals.
