A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, tapering feel. The curves show clear calligraphic stress, with smooth, rounded bowls contrasted by narrow hairlines and pointed joins. Proportions are balanced and moderately condensed in places, with consistent cap height and a readable, steady x-height; counters stay open and well-shaped in both text and display sizes. Details like the curved tail on the Q, the angled leg of R, and the lively diagonals in V/W add energy without breaking overall typographic discipline.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or luxury branding that benefits from high-contrast detail and a polished, traditional tone.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish sophistication with a modern crispness. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast feel formal and authoritative, while the flared endings and calligraphic rhythm add warmth and a touch of elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a calligraphic, classical serif tradition into a crisp contemporary text and display tool. Flared stroke endings and sharp serifs provide personality and presence, while consistent proportions and open counters support readability in paragraph settings.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and pointed terminals become a defining feature, producing a refined sparkle across lines. Numerals match the same contrast and serif treatment, reading as classic lining figures suited to text and titling contexts.
