A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like and often slightly flared from the main stems, giving an engraved, chiseled finish rather than blunt slab endings. Capitals are broad and stately with generous curves and tight apexes; bowls and counters stay open despite the heavy thick–thin contrast. The lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a two-storey a, an angled ear on g, and compact joins; thin horizontals and hairlines are especially delicate, creating a vivid dark–light rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial settings where contrast and crisp detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and book-cover titling that benefits from a classical yet fashion-leaning voice.
The overall tone is formal and high-end, with a dramatic fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp terminals and theatrical contrast evoke classic book typography and luxury branding, projecting confidence and polish more than friendliness.
Designed to deliver an elegant, classical serif impression with heightened contrast and sharpened, flared finishing details. The intent appears to balance tradition with a more dramatic, contemporary edge for display-led typography.
In running text the contrast produces strong sparkle and a pronounced vertical cadence, while the pointed serifs and tapered strokes add a distinctive, slightly calligraphic edge. The numerals and capitals feel display-forward, with crisp curves and fine joins that will reward clean reproduction and adequate size.
