A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like terminals and finely tapered hairlines set against broad, sculpted main strokes. The serifs feel sharp and slightly flared, with a carved, calligraphic logic that shows up in the pointed joins and the energetic finishing strokes on letters like C, S, and J. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase has rounded bowls and a sturdy rhythm, with compact apertures and a pronounced stroke modulation that creates strong light–dark patterning in text. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with distinctive curves and angled entry/exit strokes that keep them lively at display sizes.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or book-cover typography where contrast and sharp detail can read cleanly. It can also support upscale branding and packaging, and works effectively for short-to-medium blocks of text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, combining traditional bookish credibility with a fashionable, high-impact sparkle. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice suited to polished, premium settings rather than casual UI use.
The design appears intended to modernize classic serif traditions with heightened contrast and crisp, sculptural terminals, delivering a premium editorial look that remains grounded in familiar text-serif structure.
In the text sample, the design forms a dense, authoritative texture with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines and pointed terminals. The italic is not shown; the roman alone provides enough personality to carry headlines while still reading as a conventional text serif at larger sizes.
