A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing clear calligraphic modulation. Serifs read as bracketed and wedge-like, with a slightly flared, carved feel at stroke endings; several lowercase forms lean into ball terminals and soft teardrop details. Curves are generously rounded and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable variation in character widths and a slightly theatrical stance in capitals. Numerals and lowercase show strong thick–thin transitions and sharp joins that stay clean at display sizes.
This face performs best in display roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, poster typography, and premium branding. It can also work for short passages or deck copy when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is editorial and classical, with a refined, literary voice and a touch of drama. It feels like a contemporary take on traditional serif typography—polished and confident rather than strictly old-style—suited to sophisticated headlines and elegant brand language.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive terminal detailing, balancing tradition with a slightly decorative, contemporary polish for attention-grabbing typography.
The sample text suggests strong presence at larger sizes, where the thin strokes and sculpted terminals become a defining feature. Wide capitals and pronounced contrast create a stately texture, while the more expressive lowercase adds warmth and character.
