A refined serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced flaring at stroke ends. The design shows strong thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and tapered joins, producing a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with long, clean serifs and pointed apexes, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with energetic entry/exit strokes and a gently calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and the overall texture in text is bright and high-definition rather than dense.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, packaging, and book cover titling where its contrast and tapered details can shine. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading, but is most convincing when used to create hierarchy and emphasis.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, dramatic, and distinctly classical. Its sharp terminals and sweeping contrasts add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making even simple copy feel elevated and intentional.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals for a modern luxury/editorial voice. Its high contrast and sculptural finishing suggest a focus on impact and elegance in prominent typography rather than purely functional small-size reading.
In the sample text the hairlines and fine joins become a key part of the personality, creating a shimmering page color at larger sizes. Certain forms (notably in curved letters and diagonals) show deliberate tapering and flare that reads more engraved and display-oriented than utilitarian.
