This typeface presents a high-contrast serif design with sharp, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, ink-trap-free feel. Curves are smooth and taut, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp joins, especially visible in C, S, and the round figures. Serifs are bracketed and angled rather than blocky, producing an elegant rhythm in text. Capitals are stately with generous counters, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure; the two-storey a and g and the open apertures in c and e support clarity. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with pointed foot and beak details that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book jackets, and sophisticated web or print layouts where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that call for a classic serif voice with a bit of bite.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. The sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge while remaining grounded in classic serif conventions.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif forms with more pronounced, angular terminals and gentle flaring, creating a refined display-friendly texture that still reads comfortably in continuous text.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent texture with clear word shapes and confident headline presence. The combination of sharp wedge terminals and flared endings gives it a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes while preserving a composed, authoritative feel.
