A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty verticals, set in relatively compact proportions. Strokes show a subtle, calligraphic modulation with flared, wedge-like terminals and small bracketed transitions that give stems a sculpted look. Curves are smooth and fairly tight, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is crisp with sharp joins and clean, pointed details. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing straight-backed forms with delicate, tapering finishes.
Best suited to display-to-text crossover roles where contrast and elegance are desirable: editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and sophisticated brand identities. It can work for short to medium passages when generous size, leading, and printing conditions preserve the fine hairlines.
The typeface conveys a polished, literary tone—confident and traditional, with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its flared endings and sharp detailing add elegance and a slightly ceremonial feel, making it read as premium and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif authority with a more sculptural, flared-stem treatment, producing strong contrast and distinctive terminals for premium editorial and branding applications. It prioritizes a refined silhouette and expressive detailing to create a memorable page color and a confident typographic voice.
In the text sample, the strong vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes create a lively light–dark texture, especially in mixed-case settings. The ampersand and caps show pronounced tapering and sharp terminals that stand out as expressive accents, while lowercase maintains a measured, bookish cadence.
