This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a largely vertical stress and crisp, tapered terminals that broaden into subtle flares. Serifs read as finely bracketed and sculpted rather than blocky, with pointed joins and sharp beak-like endings on several diagonals. Proportions are fairly traditional: capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with distinct ascenders and descenders. Counters are clean and round, and the rhythm alternates confidently between sturdy vertical stems and lighter hairlines, producing a refined, high-definition texture in text.
This design performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where the contrast and flared finishing strokes can be appreciated. It also fits editorial systems—magazine features, book jackets, and cultured brand identities—where a classic serif voice with a touch of drama is desirable.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, balancing formality with a slightly dramatic edge from the sharp terminals and strong contrast. It feels poised and authoritative—suited to content that aims to sound established, literary, or institutionally polished rather than casual or playful.
The font appears intended to modernize a traditional serif silhouette by emphasizing high contrast and sharpened, flared stroke endings for a more vivid, contemporary page color. Its consistent serif logic and disciplined proportions suggest a focus on legibility and authority in headline and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tapered finishing strokes create sparkle at larger sizes and a lively rhythm in headings. The numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the same crisp, sculptural treatment as the letters, which helps maintain consistency in mixed alphanumeric settings.
