This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and assertive, tapered stroke endings that broaden subtly into flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and neatly bracketed, giving the letterforms a carved, chiseled finish rather than a blunt slab feel. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains clear, traditional proportions and a steady rhythm in text. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, with smooth curves, tight joins, and controlled contrast across rounds like C, O, and S as well as more angular forms like N and V.
Well-suited to editorial and publishing contexts such as magazine headlines, book covers, and refined pull quotes where contrast and crisp detailing can shine. It also fits upscale branding, packaging, and titling that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. High contrast and pointed detailing add drama and a sense of luxury, while the underlying classic construction keeps it familiar and bookish rather than experimental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast serif with flared, tapering endings—combining traditional bookish proportions with a more dramatic, fashion-forward finish for display and editorial typography.
The numerals share the same contrasty, sharply finished treatment as the letters, with elegant curves and pointed terminals that read well at display sizes. The sample text suggests solid word-shape formation and clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/J, O/Q), though the finest hairlines imply it will look best with adequate size and print or high-resolution rendering.
