A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the stems a sculpted, carved feel. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with smooth transitions from thick verticals to hairline horizontals and diagonals. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with generous counters and a crisp, slightly calligraphic modulation; dots are round and clearly separated, and curves are drawn with a controlled, polished rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, reading cleanly at display sizes with distinct silhouettes.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where contrast and crisp serifs add authority and polish. It also fits book covers and premium branding applications that want a classic foundation with a sharper, more contemporary edge.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, combining classical book-serifs with a more dramatic, fashion-leaning contrast. It feels formal and confident, with an elegant sharpness that suits sophisticated, text-forward layouts rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading texture infused with heightened contrast and flared, sharpened endings, creating a distinctive voice for editorial and brand-led typography. It aims for elegance and clarity through disciplined proportions and consistent stroke modulation.
In the sample text, the spacing and rhythm support continuous reading while maintaining a distinctly display-ready presence in capitals and key words. The sharp terminals and thin hairlines suggest it will look best when given enough size and resolution for the fine details to remain clear.
