A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with noticeable flare as strokes approach terminals, giving a carved, chiseled finish rather than blunt endings. Counters are fairly open and the overall rhythm is steady, with slightly varied glyph widths and a measured, bookish color on the page. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a clean, upright stance with finely drawn joins and pronounced stroke modulation.
Works best in editorial contexts—headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography—where the contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also serve refined branding and packaging, especially when paired with a simpler companion for long text and small UI sizes.
The tone is polished and literary, balancing traditional formality with a slightly dramatic contrast that reads as sophisticated and confident. The sharp terminals and flared endings add a touch of fashion/editorial energy while still feeling rooted in classical serif conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end take on a classic serif: strong vertical presence, dramatic modulation, and flared terminals that create a distinctive signature in titles and display settings while remaining typographically disciplined.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and well-suited to display sizes, while the lowercase keeps a composed texture for short passages. Numerals match the sharp, high-contrast drawing and carry the same refined terminal treatment, helping headings and pull-quotes look cohesive.
