A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with clean joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation across both capitals and lowercase. The proportions read fairly traditional, with sturdy capitals, a moderate x-height, and elegant curves in rounds like O and Q; overall spacing and rhythm feel measured and text-ready while retaining display-level sparkle in the hairlines.
This font performs best in editorial typography such as magazine titles, section heads, and pull quotes, and it can carry book covers and cultural or luxury branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It also suits formal printed materials like programs and invitations, particularly at sizes where its fine details and contrast can remain clear.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting refinement and authority. Its crisp hairlines and flared finishing strokes add a dramatic, cultivated edge that feels at home in literary and fashion-adjacent contexts rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif with flared, tapered stroke endings for a polished, contemporary-classic presence. It balances text-like proportions with enough sharpness and contrast to deliver impact in display settings.
Uppercase forms lean stately and symmetrical, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic liveliness, especially in letters with curved shoulders and descenders. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with thin connecting strokes and confident vertical stress, helping them sit comfortably alongside text.
