A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a sculpted, slightly calligraphic modulation throughout. Terminals and serifs feel gently flared and bracketed rather than blunt, giving joins a softened, carved quality. Capitals are stately and balanced with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains clear, open counters and a steady rhythm in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp contrast and refined finishing, reading cleanly at display sizes.
This face performs best in editorial design—magazine headlines, feature subheads, and pull quotes—where its contrast and refined serifs can be appreciated. It also suits book and album covers, luxury branding, and poster typography that aims for a classic yet current voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining a traditional bookish presence with a more contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. It conveys authority and sophistication without feeling ornate, making it well suited to premium, editorial contexts.
The design intent appears to be a modernized, high-contrast serif that preserves classical proportions while adding flared, sculptural finishing for a distinctive display presence. It prioritizes elegance and clarity, aiming to bridge traditional typography with contemporary editorial styling.
The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity and consistent contrast across lines, with distinctive, confident curves in letters like Q and g that add character without disrupting readability. Spacing appears comfortable and even in running text, supporting both large headlines and shorter passages.
