This typeface presents a sculpted, high-contrast serif construction with sharp hairlines and fuller vertical stems that subtly flare into tapered, wedge-like terminals. Curves are smooth and expansive, while joins and stroke endings feel cut and precise, giving counters a polished, faceted look. Uppercase proportions read as classical and stately, with crisp diagonals and pointed apexes; lowercase forms maintain a steady, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height and prominent ascenders. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, showing elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that emphasize a refined, display-oriented texture.
It is well suited to magazine headlines, editorial decks, book or album covers, and premium branding where high contrast and crisp detail can shine. It will also perform well in large-format posters and high-end packaging where its flared terminals and sculpted curves can establish a refined, confident voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing classic bookish pedigree with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and knife-thin details convey sophistication and formality, while the flared endings add a slightly bespoke, crafted character rather than a purely mechanical modern feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif with artisanal, flared terminals—combining classical proportions with a sharper, more dramatic finish for modern editorial and brand-driven typography.
In text, the font creates a lively light–dark rhythm with noticeable sparkle from the fine hairlines, especially around curves and diagonals. The spacing appears comfortable for display sizes, but the delicacy of thin strokes suggests it will reward generous sizing and careful use on high-quality reproduction.
