A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that give many strokes a subtly flared finish. Serifs are bracketed and carefully tapered, producing a sculpted, print-oriented texture with strong verticals and refined hairlines. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly compact lowercase forms; joins and curves are smoothly drawn, and the overall rhythm is even and controlled across text and capitals.
Works well for editorial headlines and subheads, magazine typography, and book jackets where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support longer reading sizes in print-oriented layouts when set with sufficient size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font reads as classic and editorial, projecting authority and polish. Its sharp hairlines and chiseled terminals add a slightly dramatic, literary tone without becoming ornamental, making it feel suited to established institutions and formal communication.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a sharper, more contemporary edge through flared terminals and pronounced modulation, aiming for an elegant display-and-text hybrid suited to editorial typography.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine details become a defining feature, creating a crisp, high-end page color. The numerals and capitals carry the same tapered, flared-ending logic, helping headlines feel cohesive with text settings.
