A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and subtly flared terminals that give verticals a gently sculpted feel. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a slightly calligraphic taper in joins and endings that keeps the texture lively rather than mechanical. Proportions read on the wider side with generous counters and a steady, upright rhythm; round forms stay open, while diagonals (V, W, X) are clean and assertive. Numerals and capitals carry clear, high-contrast modulation suited to display and headline settings.
This font is well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can support book covers, magazine layouts, and brand wordmarks that call for a classic, high-end tone and a strong typographic silhouette.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, balancing traditional bookish manners with a slightly dramatic, high-contrast sparkle. It conveys authority and polish without feeling overly ornate, making it feel at home in premium, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: high-contrast structure, flared finishing, and crisp bracketed serifs that provide elegance and authority while maintaining clear readability in text-forward applications.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin transitions and pointed serif details create a bold, confident line presence, especially at larger sizes. The lowercase shows readable, open shapes with a classical “two-storey” feel in key forms, reinforcing an established, print-oriented voice.
