A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply tapered joins that create a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that shows in the curved strokes and the pointed or beaked endings on several letters. Proportions lean classical: uppercase forms are stately and balanced, while lowercase features relatively open bowls and clear apertures, producing an even text color at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, with elegant curves and crisp terminals.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book covers, and titling where contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, particularly when set with generous spacing and at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining old-style elegance with a slightly dramatic, editorial sharpness. Its flared detailing adds a crafted, humanist feel rather than a purely mechanical one, giving text a sense of tradition and authority.
The design appears intended to evoke classic serif tradition while adding character through flared stroke endings and incisive contrast, aiming for a cultivated, premium voice in display and editorial typography.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and tapered details become prominent, especially in diagonals and tight joins, which contributes to a sophisticated sparkle. The font maintains a consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
