A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the strokes a subtly sculpted, flared feel. Vertical stems are firm and straight while hairlines and joins taper quickly, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. Counters are relatively open and the curves are smoothly modeled, with pointed apexes and wedge-like finishing details that keep the silhouette clean and precise. Overall spacing reads even and deliberate, supporting clear word shapes in both capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to magazine headlines, book jackets, editorial subheads, and refined brand identities where contrast and sharp detailing can carry the voice. It also works for pull quotes and titling in print-forward layouts that benefit from a classic serif texture and a confident, high-end finish.
The tone is polished and literary, with a confident, slightly dramatic contrast that feels appropriate for elevated, traditional settings. Its sharp finishing and controlled rhythm add a sense of authority and sophistication without drifting into overly ornate territory.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: strong vertical structure paired with elegant contrast and precise, flared finishing to produce a dignified, display-ready voice. It aims for clarity and impact in text-like settings at larger sizes while preserving a traditional, authoritative typographic color.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at larger sizes where the contrast and fine hairlines can be appreciated, and the punctuation and numerals maintain the same crisp, cut-stone character as the letters. The design balances classical proportions with assertive detailing, producing a distinctly editorial texture on the page.
