A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that sharpen into pointed terminals. Vertical stems read sturdy while hairlines and curves taper quickly, creating a lively light–dark cadence in text. Proportions are compact and traditional, with rounded forms (like O and 0) showing strong thick–thin modulation and a generally upright, steady stance.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, newspapers, and long-form articles where contrast and crisp serifs add structure and hierarchy. It also fits book typography, academic or institutional materials, and branding that needs a classic, premium voice. The pronounced contrast and pointed details make it especially effective for headlines, pull quotes, and title treatment.
This font conveys a formal, literary tone with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. The sharp terminals and high-contrast rhythm feel classical and editorial, suggesting authority and refinement rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif typography with a slightly sharpened, contemporary edge. Its flared, pointed finishing and strong contrast aim to add presence and hierarchy while keeping letterforms disciplined enough for continuous reading.
The numerals follow the same contrast logic as the letters, with clear, sculpted shapes that look designed for both display and text settings. Overall spacing and rhythm in the sample paragraph appear even and controlled, supporting a composed typographic color.
