A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give stems a subtly tapered, carved feel. The design pairs crisp hairlines with fuller main strokes, creating a bright, elegant rhythm in text. Serifs are sharp and triangular rather than slabby, and joins often show gentle bracketing that nods to broad-pen construction. Proportions are relatively compact with a steady x-height and clear differentiation between rounds and straights; numerals and capitals keep a poised, formal silhouette.
This face suits editorial typography where contrast and refinement are desirable, working well for magazine layouts, book interiors, and pull quotes at comfortable sizes. It also performs nicely for headlines, cultural branding, and packaging where a classic-yet-crisp serif voice is needed.
The overall tone feels polished and literary, with a sense of tradition and ceremony. Its sharp terminals and lively contrast convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge while remaining readable and composed.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with pronounced flaring and sharp terminals to create an elegant, contemporary editorial voice. It aims for a strong typographic color and a distinctive silhouette that stands out in display while staying disciplined enough for extended reading.
In the uppercase, pointed apexes and emphatic wedge feet add presence without becoming heavy, while the lowercase keeps a steady, bookish color. The italic is not shown; the roman’s calligraphic cues come through in flared terminals and the tension of the curves, especially in bowls and diagonals.
