A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes that subtly widen toward the terminals, creating a flared, sculpted finish. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp points and smooth transitions that give the letters a carved, calligraphic feel. The capitals show classical proportions and clear modulation, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with open counters and a gently varied texture across the line. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with graceful curves and delicate joins that stay clean at text and display sizes.
This style fits editorial typography, book and magazine work, and display settings where elegance and clarity are needed. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding, and can also serve for short to medium passages when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its crisp contrast and refined terminals convey a sense of tradition and polish, suitable for premium, cultured messaging rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears aimed at blending classical serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared finishing on stems and terminals to achieve a contemporary-yet-traditional voice. It prioritizes refinement and rhythm, offering strong presence in display while maintaining composure in text.
The stroke modulation produces a lively light–dark pattern, especially in curved letters, and the sharp hairlines benefit from adequate size and good reproduction conditions. Spacing appears comfortably generous in the sample text, supporting an even, readable cadence despite the dramatic contrast.
