A high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings and sharp, tapered joins that give the letterforms a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Proportions are classical with generous counters and smooth, rounded bowls, while thin hairlines and pointed terminals create a crisp, polished texture. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, and the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clean, open shapes and a balanced, readable color in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, book covers, and cultural or luxury branding where elegance and contrast are assets. It can also perform in display roles such as posters and pull quotes, where the crisp hairlines and flared serifs have room to show their character.
The overall tone is cultured and upscale, blending bookish tradition with contemporary polish. It reads as poised and sophisticated, with a subtle sense of drama coming from the sharp hairlines and flaring terminals.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, premium serif voice with classical proportions, using flared terminals and strong contrast to add distinction in headlines and high-end editorial settings.
Serifs and terminals tend to widen subtly into the stroke endings rather than forming blunt slabs, producing a distinctive flare that stays consistent across letters and numerals. The figures appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the refined text tone in larger sizes.
