A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Strokes transition quickly from hairlines to strong verticals, creating a crisp, carved rhythm and prominent black shapes in round letters. Capitals feel broad and stately with generous bowls and relatively short crossbars, while the lowercase shows a compact, sturdy build with clear entry/exit strokes and distinct, angular finishing cuts. The numerals echo the same sharp terminal language, with curled details and pronounced contrast that reads as decorative without becoming ornate.
Well suited for headlines, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where high contrast and sharp serifs can add sophistication and punch. It can also support book covers and branding that want a classic serif presence with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward finish.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining a traditional bookish foundation with a dramatic, fashionable edge. Its sharp terminals and bold vertical emphasis give it a poised, authoritative voice suited to refined, high-visibility typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation by pushing contrast and sharpening terminals, creating a more assertive display-oriented voice while keeping familiar proportions and a readable structure.
In text, the strong contrast and tapered serifs create a lively texture and noticeable sparkle, especially around joins and terminals. The design leans on crisp silhouettes rather than soft modulation, so it reads as polished and intentional in display sizes while still retaining a recognizable classic serif structure.
