A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sculpted, slightly flared stems that widen as they approach the terminals. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with tapered, knife-like joins and pointed apexes in letters such as A, V, W, and Y. Round characters (O, C, G) show smooth, calligraphic modulation, while verticals remain steady and clean, creating a formal rhythm with elegant, sharp finishing details. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy vertical structure with delicate hairlines and refined curves.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and prominent typographic moments where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, cultural posters, and brand identities that want a classical, upscale voice. For longer passages, it will read best in comfortable sizes and layouts that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining classical bookish authority with a fashion-like sense of drama. Its sharp terminals and bright contrast suggest a premium, curated aesthetic—confident, sophisticated, and slightly theatrical in display settings.
Likely intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, contrasty serif by pairing traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with subtly flared, sculptural strokes. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and impact—creating a refined display texture that still maintains a composed, editorial cadence.
The design balances strong vertical presence with delicate hairlines, giving text a luminous, high-definition look at larger sizes. Curved letters and terminals feel carefully drawn rather than mechanical, with subtle flare lending a carved, engraved impression without becoming a slab-like texture.
