This serif features pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that widen as they meet the serif-like finishing strokes. Serifs read as sharp and bracketed rather than blocky, giving the letters a chiseled, sculptural feel. Curves are generous and smoothly modulated (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while joins and apexes stay clean and pointed. Capitals appear stately and slightly narrow in their internal spacing, and the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable build with a two-storey a and g and compact, sturdy forms.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book jackets, cultural posters, and brand marks that want an elevated, literary tone. It can also work for pull quotes and section titles where strong contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a sense of tradition and authority. The high-contrast rhythm adds drama and sophistication, while the crisp terminals keep it feeling precise and contemporary rather than purely old-style.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, pairing refined calligraphic modulation with crisp, flared finishing strokes for impactful typography in editorial and branding contexts.
The figures show a mix of classic, lining-style proportions, with strong contrast and clear differentiation between similar shapes. In text, the font creates a lively vertical rhythm and bold word shapes, making it especially striking at display sizes while remaining structured and composed.
