A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed wedge-like serifs that sharpen into triangular terminals. Curves are generously rounded with a slightly calligraphic stress, while joins and shoulders remain clean and controlled. Capitals are stately and wide-set with strong verticals; the lowercase shows compact, well-defined counters and a two-storey structure where expected (notably in a and g). Overall spacing reads even and text-friendly, with a lively rhythm created by pronounced thick–thin modulation.
This design suits editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading—where contrast and serif detail can add character without overwhelming the page. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that want a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and polished, combining bookish seriousness with a contemporary sharpness. Its pointed terminals and bright contrast add a touch of drama, giving the face an editorial voice that feels confident and cultivated rather than decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional text serif foundation with heightened sharpness and contrast for a more editorial, premium finish. Its consistent modulation and disciplined spacing suggest an emphasis on readable texture paired with distinctive, incisive terminals.
Several shapes lean toward elegant, sharpened details—seen in the angled serifs, the spurred forms, and the energetic diagonals—helping headings feel crisp without sacrificing paragraph composure. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, blending smoothly with the text color.
