This serif presents a sculpted, high-contrast construction with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions and sharp, tapered terminals. Stems subtly flare into the serifs, giving the letterforms a chiseled, carved quality rather than purely bracketed or slab endings. Curves are smooth and elliptical, with a refined rhythm across rounds (C, O, Q) and a crisp, pointed treatment on diagonals (V, W, Y). Lowercase shows compact, defined counters and a two-storey a with a strong vertical stress; the italic is not shown, and all forms appear upright in the samples.
It is best suited to display typography—headlines, magazine styling, book covers, and upscale packaging—where its high contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially when given generous spacing and size.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, balancing classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward, high-drama contrast. It reads as confident and ceremonial, with a premium feel that suits elevated brand and editorial voices.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, premium serif with classical proportions and a distinctive flared finish, emphasizing elegance and impact in display sizes while maintaining a coherent, disciplined structure across the alphabet and figures.
The font’s contrast and fine hairlines create a sparkling texture in large settings, while the sturdy main strokes keep it from feeling fragile. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with bold, rounded forms and crisp top/bottom finishing that aligns well with the capitals.
