A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp wedge-like serifs. The design shows strong thick–thin modulation with hairline connections and pronounced bracketed transitions, giving counters a polished, chiseled feel. Capitals are stately and compact with sharp apexes and tapered joins, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height and a lively rhythm through angled terminals and slightly varied letter widths. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven model, with elegant curves and narrow hairlines that read as refined rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes in editorial layouts where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding, cultural communications, and book-cover typography, especially when set with ample leading and comfortable tracking to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining classical bookish authority with a fashionable, high-end sheen. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast lend a sense of ceremony and emphasis, making text feel curated and intentional rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a modern take on classical serif authority, using flared terminals and strong contrast to produce a luxurious, print-forward texture. The emphasis appears to be on display readability and dramatic typographic presence while retaining a disciplined, traditional skeleton.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joints become a defining feature, creating a crisp, engraved look; at smaller sizes the contrast may demand generous spacing and careful color control. The font’s distinctive flaring at stroke ends adds movement without feeling decorative or ornate.
