A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapering strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like terminals with subtle bracketing, giving joins a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than a purely mechanical finish. Capitals are relatively tall and commanding with clean vertical stress; curves are smooth but end in pointed, energetic terminals (notably in S, C, and G). Lowercase shows a compact, text-oriented structure with sturdy stems, a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and a hooked f; bowls are rounded but tightened by the strong contrast and pointed finishing. Numerals follow the same sharp, editorial rhythm, with angled cuts and tapered terminals that keep figures lively in display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, where contrast and sharp terminals can provide impact. It can also work for book covers and premium branding that want a classic foundation with a more incisive, contemporary bite, especially at display sizes or in generously set text.
The overall tone is formal and elevated, combining traditional book-serifs with a sharper, more theatrical edge. The pointed terminals and strong contrast add drama and sophistication, suggesting a premium, editorial voice rather than a purely utilitarian text face.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif model by sharpening terminals and amplifying contrast, creating a more distinctive silhouette while preserving familiar proportions and a readable text skeleton. It aims for an authoritative, cultured impression with heightened visual tension for standout typography.
In the text sample, the rhythm is dense and energetic: heavy verticals set a strong backbone while the thin hairlines and angled terminals create sparkle. The serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, polished texture that favors larger sizes and well-spaced typography.
