A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, fuller verticals, and distinctly tapered, flared stroke endings that read as subtly calligraphic rather than purely mechanical. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with pointed terminals and a sculpted, chiseled feel in joins and curves. The uppercase shows dignified proportions with a strong vertical rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable texture with compact bowls and clean, controlled curves. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine connecting hairlines for an elegant, display-friendly presence.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other prominent typography where its contrast and sharp details can be appreciated. It performs especially well in magazine/editorial design, book covers, posters, and brand marks that want an upscale, traditional-yet-modern serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a dramatic, editorial sheen that suggests sophistication and tradition. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast lend a fashionable, slightly theatrical character suitable for premium branding and print-forward layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant serif for display and editorial settings, combining classical proportions with flared, calligraphic stroke behavior to create a distinctive, premium texture on the page.
The typeface’s rhythm is driven by bold main stems contrasted against very fine hairlines, producing a sparkling page color at larger sizes. Pointed terminals and flared endings add personality without pushing into ornamental extremes, helping it feel both classic and contemporary.
