This serif shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with a crisp, carved feel in the joins and terminals. Serifs read as bracketed and slightly flared at the ends of major strokes, giving stems a subtly sculpted, chiseled finish rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase forms are broad and steady with confident horizontals, while the lowercase pairs a tall x-height with compact ascenders and generous bowls. Curves are smooth and round, counters are open, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) taper to pointed, well-defined terminals.
It suits editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book jackets, and section openers where contrast and refinement help establish hierarchy. It can also support upscale branding and packaging when paired with ample whitespace, and works well for pull quotes and larger-size text where the sharp terminals and flared details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a traditional bookish confidence. Its sharp terminals and calligraphic contrast add a touch of drama, but the steady proportions keep it composed and authoritative rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif construction with a more sculpted, contemporary sharpness through flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast. It aims to deliver an elegant, high-impact reading voice for display and editorial typography while keeping letterforms familiar and legible.
In text, the rhythm is lively due to the strong contrast and flared stroke endings, which create distinct word shapes. The numerals appear lining and proportionally sturdy, with clear differentiation and consistent contrast that matches the letters.
