A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, tapering terminals that flare into sharp finishing strokes. The serifs and ends feel wedge-like and sculpted, giving strokes a calligraphic, engraved quality while remaining clean and controlled. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and open counters, and the texture on the line is lively due to the shifting stroke weight and pointed joins.
Strong for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book titles, pull quotes, and section openers where contrast and sharp finishing details can shine. It also suits branding for luxury, culture, and institutions, as well as packaging and invitations that benefit from a formal, polished voice. For longer text, it will read best at comfortable sizes and with adequate line spacing to preserve its crisp contrast.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial tone with a touch of classic refinement. The crisp contrast and sharp finishing details feel confident and formal without becoming overly ornamental. Overall it reads as elegant, serious, and slightly dramatic—well suited to settings that want authority and polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast reading experience that feels contemporary-classic: sharp, sculpted details for character and sophistication paired with steady proportions for clarity. The flared endings and wedge-like serifs suggest an aim toward an engraved or calligraphic impression, helping headlines and titles feel premium and deliberate.
The sample text shows a distinctive rhythm from pointed terminals and flared stroke endings, producing a lively silhouette and pronounced word-shape. Numerals appear lining-style with clear contrast and strong presence, matching the display-forward character of the letters.
