A high-contrast serif with narrow proportions and crisp, sculpted details. Stems show strong vertical emphasis while serifs and terminals widen into subtle flared endings, producing a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are clean and controlled with teardrop-like terminals in places, and joins are tight, giving the letters a sharp, polished rhythm. Overall spacing feels compact and text color is assertive, with clear thick–thin modulation across rounds and diagonals.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display-to-large text settings where the contrast and sculpted serifs can shine. It also works well for editorial layouts—magazines, book covers, and cultural or fashion-oriented print—where a refined, classical voice is desired.
The typeface reads as traditional and refined, with an editorial seriousness and a touch of dramatic flair. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing convey elegance and authority, making it feel suited to cultured, formal messaging rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more expressive, flared finishing, creating a distinctive editorial face that feels both traditional and contemporary. Its narrow build and emphatic contrast suggest an aim for strong presence and efficient line fit without losing elegance.
Uppercase forms are stately and upright with prominent contrast, while lowercase characters maintain a measured, bookish tone and recognizable oldstyle-like shaping in several letters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and look designed to sit comfortably alongside text, with lively curves and crisp terminals.
