A high-contrast serif with sculpted, gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that transition smoothly into stems. The verticals read firm and even, while thin hairlines and sharp joins add a crisp, refined edge. Curves are controlled and moderately round, with narrow apertures in letters like C and S and a tidy, compact rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, pronounced terminals, and clear differentiation between similar forms; figures appear lining with strong vertical stress and pointed details.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, cultural writing, and book typography, where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks that benefit from sharp contrast and sculpted terminals.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting authority without feeling austere. Its sharp hairlines and tapered terminals give it a fashion/editorial sophistication, while the steady proportions keep it grounded and readable.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif traditions with a subtly contemporary sharpness, using flared endings and pronounced contrast to create an elegant, attention-holding texture. It aims for a confident reading voice that can move between display emphasis and composed text setting.
The design emphasizes vertical stress and fine detailing, so the character improves as size increases, where the hairlines and flared endings can fully resolve. In paragraphs, it creates a lively light–dark texture with distinct word shapes and a slightly dramatic contrast profile.
