A high-contrast serif with sculpted, bracketed serifs and crisp wedge-like terminals that give strokes a cut, chiseled finish. Curves swell into heavy verticals, while hairline joins and horizontal strokes stay notably thin, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a relatively wide stance, and the overall texture alternates between sturdy stems and delicate connecting strokes for a distinctly editorial color on the page.
This face performs best in editorial typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and journal covers, section openers, and pull quotes. It can also work for premium branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines remain clean.
The tone is formal and literary, combining elegance with a slightly dramatic, display-leaning sharpness. Its crisp terminals and pronounced contrast evoke a traditional print sensibility—confident, refined, and suited to high-end editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional text serif, emphasizing elegance through strong contrast and crisp terminal shaping while keeping proportions open and readable. It balances a classic, print-oriented structure with sharpened details to add presence in display and editorial applications.
Uppercase forms read authoritative and stately, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open bowls and restrained detailing. Numerals show the same sculpted contrast and feel designed to hold their own alongside text, especially in headings and pull quotes.
