This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with sharp, tapered serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that widen as they meet terminals. Curves are generously rounded and smoothly joined, while verticals stay crisp, creating a sculpted, high-end texture in paragraphs. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with clean crossbars and controlled apertures; the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with slightly narrow joins and clear differentiation between bowls and stems. Figures are elegant and lining in feel, with the 2 and 3 showing strong diagonal tension and the 4 featuring an open triangular form.
It performs especially well in headlines, magazine typography, and book jackets where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also support high-end branding and packaging, and works in short to medium text settings when adequate size and spacing are provided.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting polish and authority without feeling ornamental. Its contrast and tapered finishes add a literary, boutique sophistication that suits premium communication and brand-forward typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared terminal treatment, creating an upscale editorial voice. Its forms aim for strong typographic presence—clear in text, but most compelling when used to add distinction and hierarchy.
In text, the face produces a lively light–dark pattern: thick verticals anchor the line while thin hairlines and tapered serifs add sparkle at larger sizes. The design favors clarity and poise over softness, with terminals and serifs that read as cut and chiseled rather than rounded or slabbed.
