A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes, paired with wedge-like, subtly flared terminals that give the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The serifs are compact and bracketed, and the joins are clean, producing a crisp texture in display sizes. Capitals are sturdy and formal, while the lowercase shows clear modulation and rounded bowls, with a relatively compact rhythm and tight, confident spacing in the sample. Numerals follow the same chiseled contrast, with prominent curves and firm verticals that read strongly in headlines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its contrast and tapered details can be appreciated. It works particularly well for magazine titles, book covers, cultural institutions, and premium packaging or branding that benefits from a classic serif voice with extra bite.
The overall tone is editorial and literary, projecting authority and tradition with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrasts and sculpted terminals add a sense of polish and ceremony, suitable for brands or titles that want to feel established yet contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like endings to increase drama and sophistication in display use. It prioritizes strong silhouette and typographic color for impactful titles while maintaining familiar proportions for readable copy at larger sizes.
The face builds presence through dark verticals and thin connecting strokes, creating a lively sparkle in counters and apertures. In larger settings it reads clean and elegant; in denser blocks the strong contrast and tight internal details can make it feel more intense and attention-grabbing than neutral text serifs.
