A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, showing a distinctly sculpted, flared stroke finish in many terminals and serifs. The serif treatment feels bracketed and gently tapered rather than blunt, giving strokes a carved, chiseled look. Uppercase proportions are stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and sharp apexes in A and V, while the lowercase balances sturdy stems with delicate links and compact, rounded bowls. Overall spacing reads even and controlled, supporting clean word shapes at text sizes while retaining a refined, display-ready sheen.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book jackets where contrast and refined detailing add authority. It can carry headlines and subheads with a premium feel, and it also performs for short-to-medium text passages when paired with comfortable leading and mindful reproduction to preserve thin strokes.
The tone is polished and classical, with an editorial sophistication that suggests tradition and taste. Its sharp contrast and flared detailing lend a slightly ceremonial, bookish character—confident and formal without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke a contemporary take on classical serif letterforms—emphasizing contrast, controlled proportions, and subtly flared endings to create a distinctive, polished voice for editorial and branding contexts.
Curves are drawn with smooth, tensioned arcs and careful transitions into hairlines; joins remain crisp, giving the face a precise rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with prominent curves and fine finishing strokes that keep figures elegant in running text.
