A high-contrast serif with crisp, sculpted forms and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into bracketed terminals. The verticals are strong and steady while hairlines stay fine, giving a sharp light–dark rhythm and an overall upright, formal stance. Counters are generous and bowls feel slightly squarish at the joins, with clean curves and decisive serif shapes. Lowercase proportions show a relatively short x-height with prominent ascenders, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, editorial texture.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other display settings where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and book typography, brand wordmarks, invitations, and posters that call for a polished, classical voice; for extended small-size text, the fine hairlines may require careful size and printing conditions.
The font reads as confident and cultivated, with a fashion-and-publishing sensibility. Its sharp contrast and sculpted serifs add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, while the steady upright posture keeps it authoritative rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast serif for contemporary editorial and branding use, combining classical proportions with flared, bracketed terminals to create a distinctive, premium texture.
At display sizes the hairlines and tapered joins create a lively, sparkling texture, especially in dense setting. The overall rhythm is distinctly vertical, and the flare at terminals lends a slightly calligraphic, engraved finish without becoming ornate.
