A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, chiseled feel. The rhythm is driven by strong thick–thin modulation and crisp terminals, with bracketed joins that keep the forms cohesive rather than abrupt. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly wide in their rounds, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a balanced, readable texture at text sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with pronounced hairlines and sturdy main strokes.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book interior text with a classic voice, and display settings where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits premium branding and formal print pieces—such as invitations, programs, and certificates—where sharp serifs and a confident presence support a traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, projecting authority and formality with an editorial, bookish sensibility. Its crisp contrast and pointed details add a slightly dramatic, ceremonial flavor without tipping into ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with contemporary crispness, using high contrast and flared, wedge-like endings to add sculptural character while keeping a steady, readable page texture.
In the text sample, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle along horizontals and curved joins, while the flared endings help keep stems from feeling too mechanical. At very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction, the finest hairlines and pointed serifs may require a bit more breathing room and careful color management.
