A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, showing a subtly calligraphic modulation across curves and diagonals. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with modest bracketing, and many strokes broaden into flared terminals that give endings a sculpted, chiseled feel. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals, compact counters, and a steady, print-like rhythm; lowercase forms feel traditional with clear two-storey a and g and a strong, slightly bracketed shoulder structure.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits editorial and literary settings—magazines, book jackets, and display-forward layouts—especially when paired with a quieter sans for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sharpness. Its contrast and pointed finishing details add drama and sophistication, evoking classic book typography and fashion-forward headlines rather than casual, everyday UI text.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more sculpted, flared finishing that heightens elegance and impact. It prioritizes refined contrast and a polished page color for display and editorial composition.
The numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear internal shapes and consistent stress. The flare at terminals and the crisp serif treatment create a lively texture in paragraphs, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and cut-ins are most apparent.
