A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. The serifs are bracketed and subtly flared, with stems that broaden into the joins and feet, giving counters and horizontals a sculpted, ink-trap-free sharpness. Proportions feel generously set with open bowls and a steady, formal rhythm; round letters stay smooth and controlled while diagonals and apexes finish in fine points. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence, and the overall color on the page reads clean and bright due to the fine hairlines and clear internal spaces.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book covers, and refined headlines where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding, invitations, and poster work that benefits from a classic serif voice with added sharpness and clarity.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical bookishness with a slightly theatrical edge from the sharp hairlines and flared finishing. It feels confident and cultured—suited to content that wants authority without heaviness, and elegance without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif look that feels traditional in construction yet distinctive in finishing, using flared, bracketed details and strong contrast to create elegance and prominence in display and short-form text.
Spacing appears comfortable for display-to-text settings, with distinct letterforms and clear differentiation in shapes like the open-tailed forms and the sharply finished diagonals. The punctuation and dots read crisp and round, reinforcing a neat, contemporary finish on a traditional serif structure.
