This typeface shows a high-contrast, sculpted serif construction with stems that subtly broaden into flared endings rather than relying on heavy bracketed slabs. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed, blade-like terminals on letters such as C, S, and a, and a distinct calligraphic rhythm in the way thick and thin strokes transition. Capitals feel wide and stately with generous internal counters, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable texture with slightly energetic joins and angled stress. Numerals follow the same contrasty, engraved character, with elegant curves and crisp, tapered finishing.
Best suited to display typography: magazine and book headlines, fashion and cultural editorial, premium packaging, and brand marks that want a refined, high-end voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated without becoming too delicate.
Overall it conveys a polished, upscale tone—confident and theatrical without becoming ornamental. The sharp terminals and strong contrast bring a sense of luxury and drama that reads as contemporary editorial, with a faint classical, inscription-like authority underneath.
The design appears intended to blend classic high-contrast serif elegance with a more sculpted, flared finishing that adds a distinctive signature. It aims for sophisticated display impact and a clean, modern editorial presence while keeping a traditional serif foundation.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively line rhythm and clear word shapes, especially in larger sizes. The distinctive flaring at stroke ends adds character in headings and logos, but the fine hairlines and pointed terminals suggest it will look best when given adequate size and breathing room.
