A high-contrast serif with sharply cut, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, chiseled presence. Serifs are crisp and generally bracketed, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and tapered joins that feel drawn rather than purely mechanical. Proportions are moderate with a normal x-height, clear counters, and a slightly dynamic rhythm from angled stress and tapered strokes, holding together cleanly at both display and reading sizes in the sample text.
Well suited to magazines, book typography, and other editorial settings where high contrast and crisp serifs can add hierarchy and polish. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif with a slightly flared, contemporary edge.
The tone is classical and editorial, projecting refinement and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp terminals and energetic contrast add a dramatic, literary flavor suited to sophisticated, culture-forward typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with a more sculptural, flared-terminal finish, delivering a refined reading voice that can also scale up for impactful display. The sharp wedge terminals and controlled contrast suggest a focus on elegant texture and strong typographic color in continuous text.
Uppercase forms read confidently with broad curves and firm verticals, while lowercase shows lively shaping in letters like a, e, g, and y through tapered strokes and decisive terminals. Numerals appear sturdy and traditional, matching the overall sharp, high-contrast voice.
