A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that give the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic edge. The serifs are finely bracketed and pointed rather than blocky, and the curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth with pronounced thick–thin modulation. Proportions lean traditional with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and neatly controlled spacing that keeps the texture even in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same sharp, elegant construction, with clear differentiation and strong vertical stress.
Well-suited for book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from sharp contrast and traditional proportions.
The overall tone is classic and polished, with an editorial sophistication reminiscent of traditional book and magazine typography. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast convey authority and refinement, making the text feel deliberate and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model with crisp, high-contrast drawing and subtly flared terminals, balancing elegance in display settings with steadiness in text. The emphasis is on a cultivated, authoritative reading experience with a distinctive, slightly sculpted finish.
In the text sample, the font maintains a consistent rhythm and clean alignment, producing a dark, confident color without looking muddy. The pointed, slightly flared stroke endings add character at display sizes while remaining disciplined enough for continuous reading.
