A high-contrast serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction: hairline connecting strokes pair with broad, tapered main strokes that often flare into the terminals. Serifs are sharp and fine, with subtle bracketing and a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than flat slabs. Curves are smooth and polished, with prominent thick–thin transitions in letters like C, G, S, and the numerals. The lowercase shows a slightly traditional text rhythm, with teardrop-like joins and crisp, tapered arms, producing an elegant, lively texture in paragraphs and a dramatic presence at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine layouts where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits luxury branding and packaging—especially where a refined, premium tone is desired—while working for short text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone reads refined and high-end, with the kind of crisp glamour associated with magazine typography and luxury branding. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings create a poised, formal mood that feels classical but fashion-forward rather than strictly old-style.
Likely intended as a contemporary display serif that borrows from broad-nib and engraving traditions, emphasizing dramatic contrast and tapered, flared stroke endings to create a polished, upscale voice.
The design leans on strong stroke modulation and delicate hairlines, so it presents best when rendered cleanly and given enough size or resolution to preserve the thin details. The numerals and capitals carry a pronounced display sensibility, while the lowercase maintains an editorial, bookish cadence.
