This typeface shows a sculpted, high-contrast serif construction with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes that often broaden into subtly flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with a calligraphic feel in the way curves transition into straighter stems. Uppercase proportions read generously wide with open counters and confident, display-oriented spacing, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm and a moderate x-height. Overall, the drawing favors clean, polished contours and energetic stroke modulation that gives letters a carved, dimensional presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp finishing can read clearly and add personality. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a premium, classical voice. For longer passages, it will work most comfortably at larger text sizes and in layouts that allow its pronounced stroke rhythm to breathe.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp details and dramatic contrast suggest premium, curated contexts rather than utilitarian neutrality. The overall impression is elegant, confident, and slightly flamboyant.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif with a sculptural, flared-terminal character—combining traditional serif cues with a more dramatic, display-leaning texture. It aims to project refinement and authority while remaining visually distinctive in editorial and identity settings.
The figures follow the same contrast-driven logic, with distinct silhouettes (notably the curving 2 and the open, balanced 8) that suit large sizes. In text, the strong thick–thin rhythm becomes a dominant texture, with delicate joins and terminals that will reward careful size and spacing choices.
