A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a distinctly sculpted, flared behavior at many terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with smooth transitions that suggest a calligraphic stress rather than a purely geometric construction. Proportions feel balanced and moderately condensed in capitals, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear counters and crisp joins. Curves and diagonals are clean and controlled, and the numerals match the letterforms with similarly refined contrast and pointed finishing strokes.
Works best for editorial typography, magazine headlines, book covers, and refined brand identities where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It is especially effective in larger sizes for titles, pull quotes, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a classic yet dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with a sense of luxury and tradition. Its sharp hairlines and flared terminals add drama and sophistication, giving it an editorial, bookish presence suited to high-end communication.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif voice, emphasizing flared terminals and pronounced contrast for a premium, display-ready feel while retaining enough structure for short passages.
In text, the strong thick–thin contrast creates a lively vertical rhythm and pronounced sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The caps feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase remains readable but visually assertive due to the crisp serifs and tapering terminals.
