A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show strong vertical stress with thin, hairline connections and fuller main stems that subtly broaden toward the ends, creating a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and pointed rather than slabby, with a mix of sharp finials and gently swelling joins that add movement. Proportions lean classic and stately, with relatively open counters and a consistent, polished rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its contrast and tapered details can be appreciated. It also fits upscale branding and packaging, as well as formal print like programs or invitations when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone reads sophisticated and editorial, balancing classical formality with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its contrast and tapered finishing give it a premium, cultured voice suited to refined storytelling rather than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif readability with a more sculptural, flared finishing that adds elegance and visual lift. It aims to deliver an elevated, publication-ready voice with enough personality for display use while retaining a composed text-like structure.
Uppercase forms feel confident and monumental, while the lowercase maintains a smooth reading texture with lively curves and distinct, pointed terminals. Numerals echo the same contrast and flare, looking especially suited to display sizes where the hairlines and delicate brackets can remain clear.
