A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into the terminals. The capitals are tall and well-proportioned, with clean, sharp apexes and a confident vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms show compact, sturdy shapes with clear counters and distinct stroke modulation, producing a polished texture in running text. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and traditional, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and clean finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, where the contrast and crisp terminals can add authority. It can also serve book-cover titling and brand wordmarks that want a traditional, premium feel, especially at display and larger text sizes.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that reads as traditional rather than trendy. Its sharp finishing and contrast lend a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to confident, “established” typography.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a classic serif voice, combining traditional proportions with pronounced contrast and subtly flared endings for added character. The intention appears to be versatility across headline and reading contexts while maintaining a formal, polished presence.
In paragraph settings the font creates a strong typographic color: dark, crisp, and structured, with noticeable stroke modulation that adds sparkle at larger sizes. The flared endings and pointed terminals give it a distinctive bite while remaining firmly in a conventional serif idiom.
