A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flared stroke endings that transition smoothly into sharp, triangular terminals. Serifs are compact and wedge-like rather than blocky, with subtle bracketing where strokes meet. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide in their inner spacing, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with rounded bowls and clean joins. The numerals share the same high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and sturdy verticals, producing a polished, print-oriented texture.
It suits editorial headlines, book and chapter titles, and magazine typography where high contrast can provide a luxurious, premium voice. It can also work for formal branding and event materials—particularly at display sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrast convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, high-end feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with sharper, flared stroke endings to add visual drama and a contemporary edge. It aims for a refined reading and display experience with a distinctive, sculpted finish.
In text, the font creates a bright, high-contrast color with noticeable sparkle from thin horizontals and hairline connections. Capitals and punctuation appear well-mannered and traditional, suited to typographic settings where elegance and clarity are prioritized.
