A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. Vertical strokes read strong and steady while hairlines taper to sharp points, creating a rhythmic light–dark pattern across words. The capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, with crisp terminals and clean joins; the lowercase shows traditional book-type proportions with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between rounds and stems. Figures are elegant and contrasty, with thin interior connections and sturdy main strokes that match the text color.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and display typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It can carry headlines and subheads with authority, and it also fits premium branding and formal materials where sharp contrast and sculpted serifs read as high-end.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with an editorial sophistication that suggests tradition and craft. Its sharp tapering and refined detailing add a sense of ceremony and luxury without becoming ornamental. The texture in paragraphs feels composed and literary, suited to serious, high-end communication.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with more sculptural, flared detailing, producing a refined text and display face that feels both traditional and contemporary. Its contrast-driven rhythm and crisp terminals aim to create a confident, elegant typographic color in running copy and prominent titles.
In the sample text, the contrast and pointed hairlines become most evident in tight curves and diagonals, giving the face a lively sparkle at larger sizes. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, and the strong vertical emphasis helps maintain structure in longer lines.
