This serif typeface is built around very strong thick–thin modulation, with hairline horizontals and tapered, flared terminals that give strokes a subtly calligraphic taper. Serifs are sharp and finely cut, with bracketing and wedge-like shapes that keep the joins crisp while avoiding slab-like bluntness. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression due to tall verticals and tight internal counters, while the lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height with pronounced ascenders and deep, elegant curves. Overall spacing is steady and text color is dark and authoritative, with fine details that become more prominent at larger sizes.
It performs best in large-scale settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, premium packaging, and brand wordmarks where its hairlines and flared terminals can be appreciated. In longer text, it suits higher-quality print or generous sizing and leading, where the strong contrast and fine details won’t clog or disappear.
The tone is formal and polished, combining traditional bookish seriousness with a fashion/editorial edge. The dramatic contrast and needle-like details convey prestige and ceremony, while the flared stroke endings add a human, crafted feel rather than a purely mechanical one.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end, classical serif voice with modern sharpness—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and crafted terminals for impactful display typography while remaining structured enough for refined editorial use.
Round letters show clean, controlled stress and tight apertures, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X) are crisp with delicate hairlines at their thinnest points. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and look especially display-oriented where thin joins and terminals remain visible.
