A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that feel lightly flared rather than blunt. Strokes alternate between hairline thins and confident verticals, producing a bright, elegant color in text. The forms show a subtle calligraphic influence—curves swell and pinch, joins are clean, and many letters end in delicate beak-like or wedge-shaped finishes. Proportions lean traditional with compact lowercase and a comparatively short x-height, while capitals read tall and composed; numerals are similarly sharp and stately.
Well-suited for editorial typography where contrast and refinement are desired—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book jackets. It can also work for upscale branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, sharp serif voice, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where hairlines and tapered terminals stay clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a lightly dramatic sparkle from the hairlines and pointed details. It evokes classic book typography and formal print, but with enough sharpness and flourish to feel slightly decorative and attention-getting in display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened contrast and crisp finishing details, balancing classical proportions with a slightly decorative, showy edge. It aims to feel authoritative and cultured while adding visual sparkle through hairline thins and pointed terminals.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and narrow interior counters give the face a lively, engraved-like crispness, especially in diagonals and curved letters. The rhythm feels formal and well-paced, with punctuation and figures matching the same refined, sharp-ended language as the letters.
