A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often feel subtly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Curves are clean and slightly sculpted, with a lively rhythm created by thin hairlines and pointed terminals. The uppercase shows confident, bookish proportions, while the lowercase features compact bowls and distinctive, sometimes teardrop-like details in counters and terminals that add personality without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and maintain a consistent, editorial texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography where contrast and refinement are desirable, such as book interiors, magazine features, and cultured long-form reading at comfortable sizes. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding where a classic serif voice with a distinctive edge can stand out.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking classic publishing and formal communication. Its sharp hairlines and pointed detailing add a touch of drama and sophistication, making the voice feel poised and slightly theatrical rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with a sharper, more characterful finish—balancing readable proportions with expressive hairlines and tapered terminals for an elevated editorial feel.
Several forms emphasize pointed joins and tapered endings, giving the texture a slightly engraved or pen-cut quality. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent roman style with strong vertical emphasis and crisp internal shapes that remain recognizable at display sizes.
