This typeface presents a sculpted serif construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered terminals. Stems often broaden subtly as they approach the ends, giving a flared, chiseled finish rather than blunt serifs. Capitals are stately and wide-shouldered with clean, open counters; the curves are smooth and controlled, and joins remain sharp and deliberate. Lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a compact, looped “g,” and narrow apertures that maintain a polished, text-ready texture. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel well aligned with the capitals for display settings.
It suits editorial environments such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where contrast and polish are desirable. The refined capitals and well-matched numerals also make it a strong candidate for branding, packaging, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs.
The overall tone is literary and upscale, suggesting careful typesetting and a calm sense of authority. Its sharp contrast and tapered finishing details lend a fashion-and-publishing sophistication while still reading as timeless rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif typography—leveraging high contrast and flared finishing to create elegance and impact while preserving a disciplined, readable structure for setting longer phrases.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into wedge-like points and small flares, which increases sparkle in headlines and contributes to a slightly dramatic, high-end impression. The italic is not shown; the visible forms prioritize an even, classical rhythm with crisp punctuation and strong word shapes.
