A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring strokes that broaden into the terminals and serifs, giving stems a subtly chiseled profile. The letterforms show sharp, triangular/wedge-like serifs and clean, pointed joins, with smooth bowl curves and crisp apexes on shapes like A and V. Uppercase proportions feel slightly narrow and stately, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with distinctive, tapered terminals; the overall rhythm is vertical and steady with a polished, print-oriented finish.
It performs especially well in headlines, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. The distinctive serif shaping also suits brand marks, pull quotes, and premium packaging applications that call for a classic yet assertive voice.
The font projects a refined, editorial confidence—formal without feeling ornate. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast lend a dramatic, premium tone associated with heritage, literature, and luxury branding.
The design appears intended to marry classic serif structure with more expressive, flared stroke endings, creating a face that feels traditional in construction but more sculptural and attention-grabbing in texture. It aims for high-impact elegance in display and editorial contexts while maintaining clear, recognizable letterforms.
Several glyphs emphasize character through angled, flared endings (notably in S, a, e, and t) and crisp diagonal strokes (K, X, Y), which heighten sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and sharp finishing cuts that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
