A high-contrast serif with a calligraphic feel, combining thin hairlines with fuller main strokes and subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with tapered joins that give strokes a carved, sculptural quality. Proportions are slightly condensed in places, with a relatively small x-height and tall capitals that create a pronounced vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while diagonals and arms end in pointed, wedge-like details that keep the texture crisp in display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits book covers and cultural posters that benefit from a classical serif presence and a slightly dramatic, high-fashion cadence.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, with a traditional, editorial voice. Its sharp terminals and high contrast add a hint of drama, while the restrained shapes keep it poised and authoritative rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif lettering: elegant proportions, strong contrast, and flared, sharpened details that add visual sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the alternating thick–thin pattern produces a lively typographic color, especially in round letters and numerals. The design’s pointed terminals and compact lowercase add sparkle, but also suggest it will read best with comfortable tracking and at sizes where hairlines don’t get lost.
