This serif face shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp joins and tapered, flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Capitals are stately and open, with clean bowl construction and a slightly calligraphic stress, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and long, elegant ascenders/descenders. Serifs and terminals feel chiseled rather than bracketed, giving stems a sculptural look and a lively, varied rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive curves and sharp finishing strokes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display-forward typography where the sharp contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial branding, book and album covers, and formal print pieces where a refined, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classical seriousness with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its high-contrast strokes and sculpted terminals convey prestige and authority without feeling overly ornamental, making the texture feel composed and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast reading of a classical serif with flared, chiseled terminals, optimized for sophisticated display typography and editorial settings. It prioritizes crispness, rhythm, and a sculpted silhouette to create a premium, authoritative impression.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a bright, sparkling color and a pronounced vertical emphasis. The ampersand and curved letters (like S, g, and 2/3/9) reinforce the calligraphic influence through tapered curves and decisive finishing strokes.
