A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a distinctly sculpted, flared treatment at many stroke terminals. Serifs appear bracketed and tapered, with sharp joins and clean apexes, giving capitals a poised, monumental presence while lowercase maintains a compact, readable rhythm. Counters are generally moderate, curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel crisp and slightly calligraphic in their modulation. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with curved forms showing delicate hairline connections and sturdy verticals where needed.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography in editorial layouts where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and book-cover titling that benefits from a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that reads as premium and composed rather than casual. Its strong contrast and flared endings add a touch of drama and ceremony, suggesting literary, cultural, or luxury contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportioning with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, producing an elegant display-forward texture that still reads comfortably in short passages. It aims for a cultivated, literary feel with crisp contrast and carefully shaped stroke endings.
In text, the typeface holds a consistent vertical stance with lively stroke modulation that adds sparkle at larger sizes. The flared terminals and fine hairlines create a refined texture, but the design’s character is most pronounced where the details have room to breathe.
