A high-contrast serif with sharp triangular serifs and subtly flared terminals, giving the strokes a carved, tapering feel rather than blunt endings. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, while joins and apexes stay crisp, producing a clean, editorial rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately with pronounced modulation, and the lowercase shows a traditional text face structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact ear on “g,” and bracketed, wedge-like finishing strokes throughout. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with open counters and clear figure shapes suited to running text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it can also carry magazine headlines and section openers with a polished, traditional feel. The crisp serifs and sculpted contrast make it effective for upscale branding and packaging, particularly when set at medium-to-large sizes where the detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking book typography and classical engraving traditions. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast read as refined and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic edge that feels appropriate for cultivated, heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif through sharper, wedge-like serifs and gently flared stroke endings, balancing readability with a distinctive, engraved character. It aims to deliver a classic, authoritative text voice while adding a touch of display-level refinement in its terminals and contrast.
Spacing appears steady and text color remains even in the paragraph sample despite the strong stroke modulation, suggesting it’s designed to hold together in continuous reading. The flared endings and pointed serifs create a distinctive sparkle, especially in capitals and round letters, which can add presence in larger settings.
