This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, sharp serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that widen as they meet the terminals. The overall build is compact and vertically oriented, with tight internal spacing and a slightly condensed set that keeps word shapes tall and stately. Curves are taut and controlled, while joins and brackets are finely modeled, giving bowls and shoulders a sculpted, engraved feel. Lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with modest apertures and clear, high-contrast hairlines; numerals follow the same elegant stress and tapering.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and cover typography where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from an elegant, traditional serif voice, especially in larger sizes.
The tone is formal and editorial, with a fashion-forward polish and a hint of dramatic contrast. It reads as premium and traditional rather than casual, projecting authority and refinement in headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared finish, delivering a premium look with strong vertical presence. Its controlled modulation and crisp terminals suggest a focus on striking display typography that still holds together in short text settings.
The font’s contrast and narrow footprint create strong vertical emphasis, and the flare at terminals adds a distinctive, slightly calligraphic finish without becoming ornate. In display sizes the hairlines and sharp points look especially crisp, and the overall texture stays dark and sophisticated.
