A high-contrast serif with tapered stems that broaden into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress with sharp, triangular entry/exit cuts and crisp apexes, giving a chiseled look without becoming a slab. Counters are relatively open, curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm is steady, with confident verticals and expressive diagonals that add sparkle in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where the high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also serve branding and packaging that needs a classical yet attention-grabbing voice, and works well for pull quotes and short text blocks set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is poised and authoritative, mixing classical bookish manners with a slightly dramatic, engraved edge. It reads as premium and editorial—suited to sophisticated, high-end messaging while still feeling lively rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical, calligraphy-informed serif construction—pairing sharp, tapered detailing with controlled proportions for strong display impact and polished editorial readability.
Uppercase forms carry strong presence through broad curves and emphatic terminals, while the lowercase maintains clarity with compact joins and pronounced contrast. Numerals follow the same sharp-terminal logic, keeping the set cohesive and giving figures a distinct, editorial flavor.
