A high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, tapering feel. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, narrow joins, and crisp terminals, producing a bright, sparkling texture in text. Proportions are moderately compact with clear counters; curves in C, G, and S are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) end in fine, pointed feet. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and a g with a pronounced ear; numerals follow the same high-contrast, editorial tone with elegant curves and tapered terminals.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sculpted serifs can provide character. It can also serve editorial and book-cover typography, as well as upscale branding where a classic, authoritative serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a composed authority that feels suited to established institutions and editorial polish. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a touch of drama and sophistication, reading as formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a sharper, more sculptural finish, using flared terminals and strong contrast to add distinction. It aims for an editorial voice that feels traditional but visually incisive in modern layouts.
In the sample text, the contrast and pointed serifs create a distinctive rhythm that stands out at display sizes, while still maintaining a cohesive, bookish color. The design’s flared endings and fine hairlines suggest best results with adequate size and spacing so delicate strokes don’t visually fill in.
