A high-contrast serif with tapered, slightly flared stroke endings and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Vertical stems read sturdy while horizontals and hairlines pull thin, producing crisp sparkle at display sizes. Serifs are sharp and sculpted rather than blocky, with gentle bracketing and occasional teardrop/ball-like terminals in the lowercase that add motion. Proportions lean classical with open counters and a measured, bookish cadence, while the overall texture remains lively due to the pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also fits editorial branding, book and magazine covers, cultural or luxury packaging, and formal communications such as invitations or certificates, especially when paired with ample leading and comfortable tracking.
The tone is refined and literary, with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals suggest tradition and craft, giving text a formal, editorial voice that feels composed yet expressive.
The likely intention is to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, calligraphy-influenced serif: high contrast for elegance, flared endings for a crafted feel, and distinctive terminals to keep the texture animated in display settings without losing typographic discipline.
The alphabet shows consistent contrast and careful terminal detailing, especially in curved forms and the numerals, which carry noticeable stroke modulation. The design’s flare at stroke ends contributes to a subtly engraved, display-forward character, while spacing and proportions keep longer passages legible when set generously.
