This typeface presents a high-contrast serif construction with slender hairlines and weighty verticals that broaden into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pointed joins and tapered stroke endings that create a sculpted, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and wide-set, while lowercase forms are compact and crisp, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a sharp-shouldered “r,” and a teardrop-like ear on “g.” Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and forms legible at display sizes.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine titles, book covers, and promotional display typography where contrast and refined detail can carry the hierarchy. It can also work for pull quotes and short-form copy in spacious layouts, especially when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is authoritative and polished, balancing traditional bookish cues with a sharper, more contemporary edge. Its contrast and tapered details add a sense of drama and luxury, making the voice feel elevated and intentional rather than neutral.
The design intent appears to be a refined, high-contrast serif for display-led typography, combining classical proportions with flared, tapering terminals to create a distinctive, premium texture on the page.
Spacing appears comfortably generous in display settings, letting the hairlines breathe while maintaining a strong vertical cadence. The flared stroke endings and pointed serifs give letters a chiseled presence that reads especially well when set large and with ample leading.
