A high-contrast serif with crisp, triangular stroke terminals and subtly flared stem endings that read as sharp, carved wedges rather than blunt cuts. The letterforms show a vertical axis and a composed, bookish rhythm, with generous capitals and compact, sturdy lowercase proportions. Serifs are pronounced and tapered, with clean joins and a consistent pattern of thick verticals against hairline horizontals and diagonals. Curves (C, O, Q, g, e) are smooth and tensioned, while diagonals (V, W, Y, X) finish in pointed, spear-like feet that emphasize the font’s angular finish.
Best suited for display and editorial settings where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, magazine titles, and book-cover typography. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print contexts, while its pronounced contrast and pointed details suggest using comfortable sizes and spacing for longer text.
The overall tone is stately and editorial, mixing traditional serif familiarity with a slightly dramatic, sharp-edged presence. It feels confident and authoritative, well-suited to content that benefits from a refined, classical voice with a touch of theatrical contrast.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif authority by combining traditional proportions with flared, wedge-like terminals and elevated contrast. The intent appears to be strong typographic presence and elegance for titles and editorial typography rather than neutrality.
At larger sizes the pointed terminals and strong thick–thin transitions become a defining texture, giving lines a lively, sparkling edge. Numerals appear robust and display-friendly, with clear silhouette differentiation and strong vertical emphasis.
