A high-contrast serif with tapered strokes that swell into subtly flared terminals and sharp, wedge-like serifs. The forms combine crisp, pointed joins with smooth, calligraphic curvature, giving letters a lively rhythm and slightly varied color across words. Uppercase proportions feel stately and compact, while lowercase shows pronounced ascenders/descenders and rounded bowls with distinctive entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same contrast and sculpted terminals, with elegant curves and pointed tips that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, book or magazine titling, cultural posters, and brand marks seeking a refined, expressive serif voice. It can work for short editorial passages, but its dramatic modulation and detailing make it most effective for titles and accent text.
The overall tone is literary and classical with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp serifs and sweeping curves read as refined and expressive rather than neutral, evoking bookish sophistication and old-world elegance.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through a calligraphic, flared-stem approach, prioritizing expressive stroke endings and high-contrast elegance. It aims to deliver a distinctive, classic voice with enough personality for prominent typographic moments.
Several glyphs feature distinctive hooked or teardrop-like terminals and brisk, angled stress that reinforces the calligraphic impression. The texture in text appears slightly dynamic due to the strong thick–thin modulation and the occasional flourish in curves and tails.
