This is a high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs that often end in pointed, beak-like terminals. Letterforms are relatively wide with generous internal space, and the rhythm mixes sturdy vertical stems with thin, hairline connections that create a bright, sparkling texture in text. Curves are smoothly modeled and slightly calligraphic in their stress, while joins and terminals feel deliberately sculpted rather than mechanical. The lowercase shows a traditional book face structure with clear differentiation between rounds and straights, plus a noticeable italic-like liveliness in details such as the ear and terminals.
It works especially well for headlines, deck type, and short passages in editorial layouts where its contrast and sculpted serifs can read as premium and intentional. It’s also a strong choice for book covers, magazine titling, and poster typography where a classic serif voice is desired and fine details can be preserved.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance. Its crisp contrast and sharp terminals evoke classic publishing and display typography, suggesting authority and a composed, literary character rather than a casual or utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with added sharpness and visual drama through pronounced contrast and expressive terminals. It balances familiar text-serif construction with enough distinctive detailing to stand out in display and editorial applications.
Several characters feature distinctive pointed terminals and subtle swash-like gestures (notably in letters such as Q, j, and y), which add personality at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals appear designed to hold their own in headline settings, while the thin hairlines may require sufficient size or output quality to avoid losing detail.
