A high-contrast serif design with crisp, lightly bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with teardrop-like terminals and tapered joins that give letters a sharpened, sculpted feel. Proportions read balanced with a moderate x-height, generous counters, and slightly variable character widths that create a lively rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that emphasize an editorial, display-friendly color.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and pull quotes where contrast and refined terminals can read clearly. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic, high-end tone, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and classic, suggesting tradition and authority while still feeling energetic due to the brisk contrast and tapered details. It carries a bookish, cultured voice suited to premium typography rather than utilitarian UI work.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: emphasize elegance and hierarchy through strong thick–thin modulation, sharp tapering, and carefully shaped serifs, while maintaining steady readability in running text.
Pointed diagonals and narrow hairlines are visually prominent, especially in joins and terminals, so the design tends to look most confident when given enough size or printing resolution to preserve its fine details. The spacing appears even and measured in the sample text, supporting long-form setting with a distinctly formal flavor.
