A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled presence. Serifs are thin and bracketed, with elegant transitions from thick verticals to hairline horizontals and diagonals. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact counters and crisp joins; punctuation and numerals follow the same tension between robust stems and fine detailing.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style display typography, book covers and chapter titles, and brand identities that want a premium, traditional voice. It can work in short paragraphs or pull quotes when set with ample size and spacing, but it especially excels in headlines, titling, and other large-scale applications.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical bookish authority with a fashionable, high-contrast sparkle. It reads as refined and slightly dramatic, suited to sophisticated headlines where the hairlines and flares can add character without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a contemporary, fashion-forward finish, using flared endings and pronounced contrast to increase elegance and impact. It aims for a confident, high-end typographic color that feels at home in editorial and cultural contexts.
In text settings, the strong thick–thin modulation and sharp terminals create a lively texture and pronounced vertical emphasis. Larger sizes show off the delicate serifs and tapered ends best, while tighter sizes will benefit from generous spacing and comfortable line height to preserve clarity.
