A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapering strokes and bracketed wedge serifs that create a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Curves are broad and smooth while joins and terminals resolve into pointed, calligraphic-like details, producing lively stroke modulation. The capitals feel stately and evenly paced, while the lowercase shows distinctive finishing strokes and slightly angular inflections that add character without becoming ornamental. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in construction, with strong verticals and clear, open counters.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headings, book titling, pull quotes, and high-impact subheads where contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. It can also serve premium branding and packaging, especially for names and short phrases, and works effectively for posters when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is classic and refined, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and authority. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast lend a sense of drama and sophistication, suitable for elevated, literary settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice while adding a sharper, more fashion-forward edge through pronounced contrast and distinctive, tapered terminals. Its intent seems to balance text utility with display-ready elegance for contemporary editorial and brand applications.
The design reads best when there is enough size or print resolution to preserve the thin hairlines and pointed terminals; in smaller settings those details may visually soften. Round letters maintain generous interior space, and the rhythm stays consistent across text, giving paragraphs a confident, composed color.
