A high-contrast serif with strongly tapered strokes and sharp, bracketed wedge serifs that create a crisp, sculpted silhouette. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin transitions, narrow hairlines, and rounded joins that keep counters open despite the heavy main strokes. Curves and terminals are finished with small flicks and teardrop-like details (notably visible in the lowercase), adding a slightly calligraphic bite to an otherwise orthodox serif structure. Numerals and capitals carry a formal, engraved feel with broad verticals and controlled, symmetrical curves.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can shine. It also works well for premium branding, packaging, and event materials that need a classical yet attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classical bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. It feels premium and dramatic, suited to settings where contrast and elegance are meant to be noticed rather than recede into the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals for impact. It balances familiar proportions with decorative finishing to provide an elegant, contemporary editorial presence.
In text, the strong contrast and energetic terminals create a lively rhythm and distinctive word shapes, especially around letters with bowls and hooks (e, g, s). The design reads cleanly at display sizes, where the hairlines and bracketed serifs become part of the personality.
