A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes that often broaden into subtly flared endings. Serifs are pointed and wedge-like rather than slabby, giving terminals a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, generous counters, and lively width variation across letters; curves are smooth and full, while joins and apexes stay crisp and controlled. Numerals and capitals carry a strong vertical presence and polished rhythm, with distinct thick–thin modulation throughout.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book covers where the contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short to medium text in high-quality reproduction, especially when ample size and spacing preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, mixing traditional bookish authority with a touch of fashion-like drama from the extreme contrast. It reads as poised and formal, yet energetic, with a crispness that suggests careful craft rather than softness or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared finishing, balancing tradition with a more contemporary, attention-grabbing edge for prominent typography.
In the sample text, the dense dark strokes create bold typographic color at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines add sparkle but may demand sufficient size and printing/screen quality to keep details from thinning out. The design’s flared terminals and wedge serifs contribute to a slightly incised, engraved feel without becoming ornamental.
