A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing clear modulation through curves and diagonals. Serifs are sharply finished yet subtly bracketed, and many terminals flare slightly, giving strokes a sculpted, chiseled finish rather than blunt cuts. Proportions feel traditional and steady, with generous counters and a clear, open rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with pronounced contrast and sturdy verticals, while capitals are stately with controlled, slightly tapered joins.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the crisp contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial or book typography at comfortable reading sizes, especially in high-quality print or well-rendered digital contexts. The confident, refined forms make it a strong option for cultural institutions, luxury-leaning branding, and formal communications.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and refinement. The sharp details and flared finishing impart a slightly dramatic, display-ready energy while still reading as traditional and bookish. It feels suited to cultured, heritage-leaning communication rather than casual or playful settings.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif typography, combining traditional proportions with sharper, flared finishing to add presence. The goal appears to be an elegant text-and-display serif that reads as authoritative in running copy while offering enough edge and contrast for standout titles.
Text rendering shows strong word-shape definition and clear separation between thick and thin strokes, which enhances elegance at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with a prominent curved “2” and open-bowled “6/9” that feel lively without becoming informal. The design maintains consistent serif behavior across cases, giving a cohesive, polished texture in paragraphs.
