A high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Strokes move from hairline-thin connections to heavy verticals, creating pronounced chiaroscuro and a lively rhythm. Terminals frequently resolve into teardrop/ball shapes, especially in the lowercase, while capitals show sharp apexes and cleanly cut joins. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps round letters glossy and tense rather than geometric.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and brand systems that benefit from contrast and sharp detail. It will also work for short to medium text in high-quality print or large on-screen settings where hairlines and delicate joins have room to breathe.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its dramatic contrast and polished detailing evoke traditional print sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making it feel confident and premium rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional text-serif voice by amplifying contrast and refining terminals for impact. The intent appears to balance classic readability cues (bracketed serifs, familiar proportions) with a more dramatic, editorial presence for standout typography.
The italics are not shown; the displayed style reads as a display-leaning roman with attention-grabbing contrast and distinctive terminals. Numerals appear lining and sturdy, matching the same sharp/hairline-to-heavy behavior as the letters, which helps keep mixed text and figures visually consistent.
