This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sculpted details. Stems feel gently flared into the terminals, with bracketed serifs that transition smoothly from main strokes and sharpen into fine points in places. The proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, generous counters, and a steady, upright rhythm; curves are clean and slightly taut, while joins and serifs keep a polished, high-end finish. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered endings that maintain a consistent color in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for display use—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where the high-contrast detailing and flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward classic publishing and luxury cues rather than utilitarian neutrality. It reads as composed and intelligent, with a touch of drama from the high contrast and the flared stroke endings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, combining traditional proportions with sharpened terminals and subtly flared stroke endings for a distinctive, premium texture on the page.
In the text sample, the font maintains strong word-shape clarity and a lively vertical rhythm; the contrast adds sparkle at larger sizes while remaining coherent across mixed case. Round letters like O/C and lowercase bowls stay open, and the crisp terminals give punctuation and figures a particularly sharp, finished look.
