A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, tapering terminals. Serifs are compact and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing and a flared feel at some stroke ends, producing a crisp, calligraphic finish rather than blunt slabs. Capitals are stately and well-contained, while lowercase forms show smooth, rounded bowls, relatively short ascenders, and clean joins that keep textures even in paragraph settings. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with narrow, sculpted forms and clear interior counters.
This face is well suited to editorial typography, book covers, and display settings where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support upscale branding and formal materials such as invitations, certificates, and cultural posters, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful typesetting.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classical authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and high contrast lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making text feel curated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice: narrow, high-contrast forms with crisp, tapered terminals that read as premium and composed. It aims for strong presence in display while still producing an orderly, elegant texture in longer passages.
The rhythm in running text is tight and vertical, with a noticeable emphasis on thin hairlines that creates sparkle at larger sizes. Distinctive tapered endings on letters like C, G, S, and a help give the design a lively, engraved-like finish while maintaining a controlled, upright posture.
