A high-contrast serif with sharply defined, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. The serifs are bracketed and taper to points rather than forming slabs, producing crisp joins and a lively black–white rhythm. Capitals are proportionally wide and stately with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, a two-storey g, and a firm, upright stance that reads cleanly at text sizes. Numerals share the same contrast and pointed finishing, with clear, traditional proportions.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where its contrast and crisp serifs create an engaging text color. It also performs strongly in headlines, chapter openers, and institutional or luxury-leaning branding that wants a classical, authoritative voice.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness and a slightly dramatic, high-contrast sparkle. Its sharp terminals and flared endings add a hint of ceremony and sophistication, making it feel confident and established rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions with more sculptural, flared stroke endings to increase elegance and presence. It aims to deliver a refined page texture and a strong typographic voice that can move between text and display settings without losing its formal character.
The design balances delicate hairlines with robust main strokes, so it benefits from comfortable spacing and sufficient size in demanding reproduction. The pointed terminals and flared strokes create a distinctive texture in headlines while maintaining a disciplined, classical posture in running text.
