This serif has crisp, high-contrast strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and sharp, often ending in small wedge-like points that give the outlines a cut, sculpted feel. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with smooth, rounded bowls (C, O, Q) and confident vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained counters and a traditional two-storey construction in forms like a and g. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with strong verticals and delicate joins that keep the texture bright and articulate in setting.
It is well suited to editorial typography, magazine and book work, and refined branding where a classic serif voice is desired. The pronounced contrast and sharp detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments where crispness and elegance are priorities.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classic bookish authority with a slightly fashion-forward sharpness. Its pointed finishing details and dramatic contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony without tipping into ornamental display.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif with heightened contrast and sharpened finishing, aiming for a premium, editorial look that remains grounded in familiar letterform structures.
In text, the rhythm is driven by sturdy vertical stems punctuated by hairline connectors, producing a lively, sparkling color at larger sizes. The font’s pointed terminals and angled entry/exit strokes create a subtly dynamic, engraved-like character, especially noticeable in letters such as S, T, and K.
