A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdy verticals, showing clear modulation that feels calligraphic without becoming cursive. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with wedge-like terminals that widen as strokes meet the baseline and cap line, giving a sculpted, carved quality. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented: capitals are stately with generous counters, while lowercase forms keep clear apertures and a steady rhythm. The numerals echo the same contrast and serif treatment, with crisp joins and elegant curves that remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where contrast and refined serif detailing can be appreciated. It should work especially well in magazine layouts, book covers, cultural branding, and posters that need a classic voice with a bit of drama.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, balancing sophistication with a slightly dramatic sparkle from the contrast and sharp terminals. It reads as literary and institutional, suited to environments that want authority and polish rather than friendliness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text/display serif, emphasizing elegant modulation and flared, bracketed terminals to create a distinctive, premium texture in print-style typography.
Curves and joins are clean and controlled, with distinct, expressive details in letters like G, Q, and the lower-case a and g that lend personality without feeling decorative. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable for larger sizes, supporting dense paragraph setting while retaining a premium, print-like texture.
