This typeface shows a high-contrast serif construction with sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden as strokes meet their endings. Serifs read as sharp and tapered rather than blocky, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clean, upright stance. Capitals are broad and stately with generous internal space, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between bowls, stems, and arms. Curves are smooth and tensioned, and joins feel slightly calligraphic, giving the letterforms a carved, editorial look rather than a purely mechanical one.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits premium branding applications—especially in fashion, arts, and hospitality—where a classic serif voice with sharper, flared details can carry authority. In longer passages, it will be most comfortable at moderate to larger sizes where the hairlines and terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classic serif dignity with a more theatrical, fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and drama, suggesting premium editorial settings and cultural institutions rather than utilitarian interface work.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading of elegance with a more contemporary bite, using pronounced contrast and flared terminals to create a distinctive signature. Its proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on display-to-editorial work where presence and polish matter as much as legibility.
At text sizes, the crisp terminals and high contrast create an energetic rhythm; spacing appears open enough to keep larger text readable, while the most delicate hairlines will naturally become more prominent in display contexts. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to align comfortably with capitals, maintaining the same contrast and sharp serif behavior.
