A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, drawn rhythm. Stems and arms terminate in tapered, subtly flared endings with small, sharp serifs that feel slightly bracketed rather than slab-like. Curves are smoothly modeled and relatively open, while diagonal joins and apexes stay pointed and clean. Overall proportions are balanced and readable, with a composed texture in text and a slightly dramatic silhouette in larger sizes.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a refined serif texture is desired. It also carries well into display roles such as magazine headlines, chapter openers, and formal printed materials where contrast and sharp finishing can add sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as cultured and authoritative. Its crisp contrast and tapered details add a touch of elegance and ceremony, making it feel more like a bookish or magazine serif than a casual workhorse.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with tapered, flared stroke endings for a slightly more sculpted, contemporary refinement. It aims to deliver an authoritative text voice while retaining enough contrast and detail to feel distinctive in display sizes.
In the sample text, the letterforms maintain a steady baseline and consistent spacing, creating a tidy paragraph color. The numerals show the same contrast and crisp finishing, helping figures blend naturally into text-heavy settings rather than standing apart as geometric forms.
