This serif displays crisp, high-contrast strokes with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and sharply defined serifs. Stems show a subtly flared behavior toward the ends, while curved letters have smooth, controlled modulation and tight, well-shaped counters. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, with pointed apexes and clean joins; lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with relatively tall ascenders and compact bowls. Numerals are bold and traditional in construction, with strong stress and clear differentiation, supporting a confident text-and-display rhythm.
Well-suited for headlines and subheads in magazines and editorial layouts, where contrast and sharp terminals can add hierarchy and polish. It can also carry book-cover typography, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a classic, premium feel. For longer text, it will read best at comfortable sizes and with enough line spacing to keep the high-contrast details from visually crowding.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining refinement with a firm, authoritative voice. Its sharp details and dramatic contrast add sophistication and a slightly fashion-forward seriousness, while the steady upright stance keeps it formal and composed.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model with sharper, more sculpted terminals and a slightly flared finish, producing a refined display-capable texture without losing traditional proportions. It aims to deliver a confident, elegant voice that works equally well for editorial titling and formal brand expression.
At larger sizes the crisp serifs and contrast create striking word shapes, especially in capitals and punctuation-heavy lines. The italic is not shown here; the sample indicates a consistent, print-like texture with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a slightly calligraphic stress.
