This typeface is a high-contrast serif with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed transitions into the serifs. Curves are smooth and confident, with crisp apexes on letters like A, V, W, and Y, and a calm, stately rhythm across capitals. Lowercase forms show moderate proportions with rounded bowls, a two-storey g, and a compact ear on g; the serifs and terminals remain consistent, giving text a polished, print-like texture. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with sculpted curves (notably 2, 3, 6, 8, 9) and a straightforward, readable 0 and 1.
It suits editorial headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where crisp contrast and refined serif detailing can carry the voice of the layout. It can also work well for book covers, cultural branding, and formal collateral such as invitations, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, evoking book typography and classic editorial design. Its contrast and tapered finishing details add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the steady spacing and conventional structures keep it trustworthy and familiar.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with tapered, flared finishing for a more sculptural, contemporary refinement. It prioritizes elegance and typographic color in display and editorial settings while keeping letterforms conventional enough for sustained reading.
In the text sample, the strong verticals and fine hairlines create a pronounced light–dark pattern that rewards generous sizes and comfortable leading. The flared endings read more like shaped terminals than blunt serifs, helping headlines feel carved and intentional rather than purely mechanical.
