A high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a tapered, calligraphic finish. Letterforms show a vertical, upright posture with crisp joins, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and teardrop/ball-like terminals on select glyphs. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in their internal spacing, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear, open counters and a moderately sized x-height. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the set consistent with the text style.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. It also fits editorial and book-cover settings that want a classic, authoritative voice, and can support premium branding and packaging when used with generous spacing and sizes that preserve its fine strokes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial seriousness and a quiet sense of luxury. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast read as confident and literary, evoking classic book typography while still feeling clean and contemporary in reproduction.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif construction with flared, tapering stroke endings for a more sculpted, calligraphy-informed texture. It aims for a refined, high-contrast look that performs as an elegant display and editorial companion, prioritizing crisp detail and strong letter silhouettes.
The face leans on pointed, triangular finishing strokes and clean, high-contrast curves, creating strong silhouettes at display sizes. In the text sample, the lively modulation adds texture and emphasis, especially in capitals and round letters, while maintaining an orderly baseline and consistent color.
