This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered wedges at many terminals. Serifs read as sharp, triangular and often slightly flared, giving stems a carved, calligraphic finish rather than flat slabs. Curves are smooth and round but frequently resolve into pointed exits, and the overall rhythm mixes strong verticals with energetic diagonal strokes. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, while lowercase keeps a traditional structure with lively, angled entry/exit strokes and a compact, readable x-height.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where its contrast and wedge-like detailing can read clearly. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks seeking a classic serif voice with a more dramatic, stylized finish.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, combining classic bookish familiarity with a sharper, more stylized edge. It suggests prestige and ceremony, with enough flourish to feel attention-grabbing in display settings rather than purely utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif with sharper, wedge-driven terminals to add visual bite and personality. It aims to deliver a formal, literary tone while remaining distinctive enough for display typography.
In the sample text, the high contrast and pointed wedge terminals create sparkling highlights that become more prominent at larger sizes. The figures appear oldstyle-leaning in character, with varying heights and curving forms that match the calligraphic stress of the letters.
