A crisp serif design with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, giving forms a bright, polished rhythm. Serifs are sharp and slightly flared, with a subtle widening at stroke terminals that reads as chiseled rather than slabby. Uppercase proportions feel roomy and steady, with clean curves and tapered transitions in letters like C, G, and S. The lowercase shows a compact, traditional construction with a two-storey a and g, a pointed, wedge-like ear on g, and clear ball terminals and hooks on letters such as f and j. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that suit text and display alike.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and book covers where contrast and sharp serifs help create a premium voice. It can also serve in refined branding systems and formal communications, and performs nicely in larger-size text where its hairlines and terminal shaping remain legible.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting authority and a quiet sense of luxury. Its sharp terminals and bright contrast add a slightly dramatic, print-forward character that feels suited to publishing and cultured branding.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with flared, sharpened terminals to create a contemporary editorial serif that feels both traditional and distinctive in display settings.
The design maintains consistent stress and contrast across the set, with particularly distinctive, expressive details in the Q tail and the lowercase g and j. At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins read as refined and sculptural, while smaller settings will emphasize its crisp, high-contrast texture.
