A refined serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a distinctly flared treatment where stems broaden into wedge-like terminals rather than flat slabs. The letterforms are sharply drawn and slightly calligraphic in feel, with tapered joins, thin hairlines, and confident thick verticals. Serifs and terminals are pointed and sculpted, creating a lively, sparkling texture in text. Proportions feel balanced and bookish, with moderate x-height, compact apertures in some lowercase, and numerals that maintain the same sharp contrast and tapered finishing.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, and fashion or luxury branding where high-contrast detail and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It should also work effectively for book covers, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially when set with generous leading and careful spacing.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, suggesting contemporary editorial design with a nod to classical inscription and calligraphic refinement. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the controlled rhythm keeps it composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium serif voice by combining classical high-contrast construction with flared, wedge-like terminals that add character and a slightly inscriptional edge. It prioritizes elegance and visual sharpness for headline and refined text settings.
Uppercase forms read authoritative and clean, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved strokes and tapered exits, which increases the sense of elegance at display sizes. The thin hairlines and sharp terminals make spacing and line length feel visually prominent, giving text a crisp, high-end page color.
