A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in the verticals, giving the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are sharply cut and often wedge-like, with noticeable flare into terminals and a generally taut, angular finish. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned with generous counters (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase mixes sturdy vertical structure with fine joining strokes, producing a lively, slightly variable rhythm across the line. Numerals follow the same contrast and sharp terminal language, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display applications where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial branding and book or magazine cover typography, and can lend a premium tone to posters or packaging when set with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography, cultured branding, and high-end print design. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add drama and formality, while the flared endings introduce a subtle crafted, engraved character rather than a purely mechanical look.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, knife-cut terminals for elegance and impact. It balances traditional proportions with more dramatic finishing details to stand out in contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
Stroke contrast and fine hairlines become most prominent in curved letters and diagonals, where the thins sharpen into pointed terminals (e.g., v, w, y). The italic is not shown; the style presented reads as an upright roman with a distinctly editorial, headline-forward presence.
