A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty verticals, and sharply tapered, flared terminals that give many strokes a chiseled finish. Serifs are pointed and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, creating a sculptural, engraved rhythm rather than blunt slab stops. The uppercase shows broad, classical proportions with confident diagonals and rounded bowls, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable structure with compact apertures and pronounced stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper logic, with elegant curves and fine joins that suit display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and large-size editorial typography where contrast and tapered terminals can add character. It can support refined branding and packaging—especially for luxury, culture, or hospitality—when used with generous spacing and careful sizing. For longer reading, it will perform best at comfortable text sizes and in high-quality print or high-resolution screens.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical formality with a slightly dramatic, cut-stone sharpness. It suggests luxury print, cultured institutions, and literary sophistication, with enough crispness to feel contemporary when set large.
The font appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction with flared, tapered endings to heighten drama and elegance, producing a distinctive display voice that still retains traditional readability cues.
The design relies on strong thick–thin transitions and fine details at terminals, so it reads best where hairlines and tapered ends have room to resolve. In text settings, the lively stroke modulation and pointed finishing strokes create an energetic texture that can feel assertive in headlines or pull quotes.
