A high-contrast serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and pronounced wedge-like serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin to robust verticals, with tapered joins and pointed terminals that create a lively, slightly idiosyncratic rhythm. Curves are generously rounded while many ends finish in angled beaks or flares, giving counters a sculpted, engraved feel. Capitals are stately and open, while lowercase shows distinctive detailing in letters like a, g, y, and t that emphasizes sharp turns and tapered strokes over purely mechanical geometry.
Well suited to book and chapter titles, magazine/editorial settings, and cultural or institutional branding where a classic but distinctive serif voice is desired. It can also serve premium packaging and invitations, particularly at sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a classical, old-world elegance that reads as formal without feeling sterile. Its dramatic contrast and expressive terminals add a touch of theatricality, making the texture feel curated and ornamental rather than purely utilitarian.
Likely designed to reinterpret classical serif traditions with heightened contrast and expressive, wedge-like finishing to create a more decorative, signature texture. The intent appears to balance readability with ornamental character for sophisticated display and headline use.
The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic and appear display-leaning, with strong vertical stress and delicate hairlines. In the text sample, the face forms a bright, crisp page color with noticeable sparkle from the thin strokes, suggesting best results when printing or rendering conditions can preserve fine details.
