A high-contrast serif with sharply tapering hairlines and weighty main stems, giving the letterforms a sculpted, ink-trap-free clarity. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with a traditional, slightly calligraphic stress visible in round letters and the tapered joins. Proportions feel fairly classical with moderate apertures and a steady rhythm in text; curves are smooth and full, while terminals often finish with pointed or beak-like details. The lowercase shows lively, individual shapes—especially in a, g, y, and j—while numerals are similarly expressive, with noticeable stroke modulation and distinctive curves on 2 and 3.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where its contrast and sculpted details can stay crisp, such as magazine titles, editorial pull quotes, and book-cover typography. It can also support refined branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve the thin strokes and delicate terminals.
The overall tone is editorial and formal, with a dramatic, high-impact presence suited to sophisticated typography. It reads as confident and traditional rather than minimal, projecting authority and a slightly theatrical elegance.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, providing an authoritative display voice that still maintains a familiar reading rhythm. It aims to balance traditional proportions with standout details for contemporary editorial use.
In the sample text, the heavy vertical emphasis and fine hairlines create a strong light–dark pattern that rewards generous point sizes and solid printing conditions. The curves and terminals introduce personality without breaking a conventional text-serif structure, keeping the texture cohesive across mixed case and figures.
