A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller verticals, featuring softly flared stroke endings and finely bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are taut and smooth, with sharp, tapered terminals that create a crisp, chiseled rhythm across text. Proportions feel moderately narrow with a lively mix of round and angular forms; counters are open and punctuation is clean and unobtrusive, supporting continuous reading at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial applications such as magazine headlines, book covers, and section titles where high contrast and flared details add character. It also fits branding and packaging for premium or heritage-leaning identities, and works effectively in posters or cultural materials that benefit from a refined, dramatic voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing elegance with a slightly theatrical bite from the pointed terminals and strong contrast. It reads as classic and cultured rather than casual, lending a sense of authority and sophistication to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions with flared, sharpened terminals, creating a distinctive display-forward texture while keeping letterforms disciplined and readable. Its contrast and crisp finishing suggest a focus on expressive typography for titles and prominent text rather than utilitarian, small-size UI settings.
Capital forms show confident, classical construction with pronounced contrast and neatly controlled joins, while the lowercase keeps a steady cadence with compact shoulders and tapered entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and neatly finished, suited to display contexts where their sculptural detail can be appreciated.
