A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, editorial feel: thick verticals and razor-thin hairlines create a crisp rhythm across both display sizes and paragraph settings. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered joins and occasional wedge-like terminals that lend a slightly calligraphic, carved-in-stone character. The proportions read on the wider side with generous counters, while stroke contrast and fine hairlines keep the texture lively and bright on the page. Lowercase forms show a traditional construction with a moderate x-height, prominent ascenders/descenders, and noticeable terminal shaping, including ball-like details in places (e.g., on forms like “y”).
Well suited to magazine layouts, literary or cultural branding, and book covers where a classic serif voice with strong contrast can carry titles and pull quotes. It also works effectively for large-size editorial typography and refined identity systems that benefit from crisp serifs and dramatic stroke modulation.
The overall tone is classic and literary—confident, formal, and a bit theatrical due to the strong contrast and crisp finishing. It evokes traditional book and magazine typography, with enough sharpness and flair to feel premium and headline-ready rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened refinement: strong vertical stress, elegant hairlines, and carefully shaped terminals that add sophistication without departing from familiar text-serif structures.
In the sample text, the font produces a pronounced vertical emphasis and a refined sparkle from thin horizontals and hairline serifs. Curved letters (like C, G, and S) show controlled modulation, and numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, giving figures a stately, editorial presence.
