A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapering hairlines and weighty verticals, creating a distinctly chiseled rhythm on the baseline. Serifs and stroke endings show a subtle flare and soft bracketing, while counters stay relatively open for a refined, print-like texture. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic stress that shows in rounds and diagonals. Overall proportions feel balanced and traditional, with clear differentiation between uppercase and lowercase forms and crisp punctuation-like details in the numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, deck copy, magazine and journal styling, book covers, and poster work where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact passages (pull quotes, section openers) when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The font reads as polished and authoritative, pairing a classic literary tone with a more theatrical, high-fashion edge. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals add sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making it feel premium and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: crisp, elegant, and strongly vertical, with flared, sculptural endings that add personality without becoming ornamental. It aims to communicate prestige and clarity in display-led editorial contexts.
The heaviest strokes dominate the page in larger settings, while the finest hairlines become a defining detail that benefits from ample size and good reproduction. The italic-like entry/exit motions are minimal (remaining upright overall), but the flared endings and contrast give it a lively, engraved feel.
