A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with a lively stroke rhythm that suggests a pointed-pen influence in curves and joins. Proportions read traditionally bookish, with clear, open counters and a measured, even color that stays crisp at display sizes. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with decisive serifs and a slightly angular stress in rounded letters, while capitals feel stately and well-balanced for titling.
This style performs especially well for book covers, magazine headlines, section openers, and other editorial typography where contrast and crisp finishing add sophistication. It also suits branding for institutions, cultural organizations, and products that benefit from a traditional, premium voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining formality with a touch of dramatic elegance from the contrast and tapered details. It conveys authority and tradition without looking overly ornate, making it feel suited to established, editorial settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif through flared, tapered detailing and pronounced contrast, delivering a refined display presence while retaining familiar, readable proportions for longer editorial lines.
Numerals and capitals appear designed to hold their own in headlines, with strong vertical emphasis and clean interior space. The punctuation and figures in the sample maintain the same sharp, tapered finishing, reinforcing a consistent, disciplined texture across mixed-case text.
