A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and compact, bracketed serifs that often resolve into fine hairlines. Vertical stems carry most of the weight, while joins and terminals thin dramatically, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Counters are open and well-shaped, with a moderate, bookish proportioning and a slightly formal, measured spacing that supports continuous reading. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and controlled, while the lowercase shows delicate entry/exit strokes and pronounced thin-to-thick transitions.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book work—especially for headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It also fits premium branding and poster typography, pairing nicely with restrained sans serifs for supporting text.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classic editorial authority with a contemporary sharpness. Its clean hairlines and sculpted terminals read as refined and premium, leaning toward an elegant, cultured voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated serif voice with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp detailing, balancing readability with a fashion/editorial edge. Its flared, tapered endings suggest an aim to evoke calligraphic refinement while remaining clean and typographically disciplined.
Several glyphs show distinctive tapering at stroke ends (notably in diagonals and curved terminals), giving a subtly calligraphic, flared impression without becoming overtly decorative. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent contrast and a poised, display-friendly presence.
