A high-contrast serif with sculpted, gently flared terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically uniform. Stems stay crisp and vertical while curved strokes swell smoothly into bowls and counters, giving the letterforms a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase proportions are stately and well-spaced, while the lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented shapes (two-storey a, compact e, and a curled f) with clean joins and controlled curves. Numerals follow the same contrast and finishing, reading sharply in display sizes and remaining orderly in longer lines.
Well-suited to magazines, book typography, and cultural or luxury branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and display settings, and can also support shorter passages of text where its contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial confidence. Its sharp contrast and tapered finishing project sophistication and formality, while the subtle flare adds warmth and a humanist, literary feel rather than a strictly Didone stiffness.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, combining crisp hairlines with subtly flared, bracketed finishing for a polished yet organic texture. Its intention seems to be providing an authoritative, elegant voice for editorial and branding contexts while maintaining traditional letterform conventions for readability.
The design relies on fine hairlines and crisp stroke endings, creating a bright texture that benefits from generous size and adequate spacing. Round letters (O, C, G) are notably smooth and open, and the italic-less presentation shown here keeps the voice steady and upright across headings and text.
