A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered stems and pronounced wedge-like serifs that flare subtly at stroke endings. The design shows a strong thick–thin rhythm, with hairline joins and delicate brackets that keep counters open and letterforms clean. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and slightly varied widths that give words a lively texture without looking irregular. Numerals and capitals share the same polished, chiseled finish, with pointed vertices and neatly controlled curves.
Well-suited to book and article typography, magazine headlines, and other editorial applications where crisp contrast and refined detail are desirable. It also fits premium branding and formal invitations, particularly in display sizes where the tapered strokes and flared serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, evoking traditional publishing and formal print. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast add a touch of drama and sophistication, while the steady rhythm keeps it composed and authoritative.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading and display serif with a polished, print-forward presence. The flared, wedge-like finishing suggests an intention to balance traditional book serif proportions with a sharper, more sculpted headline character.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a luminous page color and a distinctly typographic sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The terminals and serifs read as gently flared rather than blunt, giving the face a slightly engraved, classical feeling.
