A high-contrast serif with robust verticals and sharply tapered hairlines, combining crisp, wedge-like serifs with subtly flared stroke endings. Curves are smooth and full, with rounded bowls and pronounced modulation that gives counters a sculpted, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while the lowercase shows clear differentiation through ball terminals and lively joins (notably in letters like a, g, and y). Figures are similarly contrasty and formal, with ample weight in the main strokes and fine, precise finishing details.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling in magazines, books, and cultural materials where a classic, premium voice is needed. It also fits packaging or branding that benefits from a traditional, high-contrast serif presence, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, evoking classic book typography and polished editorial design. Its sharp contrast and sculptural serifs lend a sense of tradition and seriousness, while the energetic terminals keep it from feeling purely mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, pairing traditional proportions with flared, sharply finished details to create a strong editorial voice for display and prominent text.
The design emphasizes vertical rhythm and crisp silhouette edges, producing strong word shapes at display sizes. Fine hairlines and delicate terminals suggest it will look best with adequate size and printing/screen conditions that preserve its thin details.
