A high-contrast serif with hairline connections and sharply tapered, flared terminals that often resolve into wedge-like serifs. The letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic: strokes swell and thin decisively, curves are smooth and open, and many joins are treated with delicate, pointed transitions. Uppercase proportions are stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows distinctive, decorative construction—such as a single-storey a with a strong horizontal cross-stroke, a looped g, and a w with rounded, double-arched structure. Numerals follow the same fine-thick rhythm, with slender diagonals and crisp, minimal serifs.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine features, and brand marks where its high contrast and decorative serif treatment can read as intentional and premium. It can work well for packaging, event stationery, and display-sized typography; for long passages, it will be most comfortable when set large enough to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and expressive, combining bookish sophistication with a hint of theatrical flourish. Its crisp hairlines and stylized terminals convey luxury and formality, while the idiosyncratic lowercase details add personality and a slightly whimsical, editorial feel.
Likely intended as a distinctive display serif that borrows classical proportions while introducing stylized, contemporary detailing in terminals and lowercase construction. The goal appears to be a refined, boutique voice with memorable shapes rather than an invisible workhorse text face.
The design relies on very fine hairlines and sharp apexes, giving it a delicate texture that benefits from adequate size and careful reproduction. Distinctive glyph moments (like the a, g, and w) create a recognizable voice, making the font feel more characterful than a purely conventional text serif.
