A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller verticals, where many terminals and serifs taper into sharp, wedge-like endings. The shapes feel slightly calligraphic: curves swell and thin with a controlled rhythm, and joins are clean with minimal softness. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and generous counters, while the capitals read stately and structured. Numerals are elegant and old-style in spirit, with varied widths and pronounced contrast that matches the letterforms.
Well suited for magazine typography, book titles, and editorial headlines where contrast and elegance are an asset. It can also serve in refined brand identities—especially for fashion, culture, and premium goods—where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a cultured, bookish confidence. Its sharp tapers and bright contrast add a touch of drama and luxury without becoming ornamental. The texture on a line feels poised and traditional, suited to refined, high-end messaging.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with pronounced, flared stroke endings for a sharper, more dramatic presence. It aims for a refined reading texture and a distinctive display personality that remains rooted in classical proportions.
Distinctive flared, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals give the font a chiseled, engraved impression at display sizes. In continuous text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a lively sparkle that benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction.
