A high-contrast serif with a compact footprint and sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings. Vertical stems read firm and straight while joins and terminals show a subtle swelling that softens the transitions into the serifs. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with crisp triangular and wedge-like details that create a lively sparkle at text sizes. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with relatively tall ascenders, and the overall rhythm feels tight and controlled, favoring verticality and clean counters.
Well suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and refined headline systems where contrast and sharp detailing can carry personality. It also fits fashion or luxury branding, pull quotes, and title treatments that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif presence. In longer settings it will read best where printing or rendering preserves the fine hairlines.
The font conveys an editorial, cultivated tone—confident and polished with a touch of drama from its sharp contrasts and pointed detailing. It feels traditional and literary rather than utilitarian, suggesting authority, taste, and ceremony without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical, high-contrast serif lettering: compact, elegant, and expressive through tapered serifs and subtly flared terminals. Its proportions and detailing prioritize editorial sophistication and striking display clarity while remaining disciplined enough for structured text use.
Uppercase forms emphasize strong vertical stress and narrow proportions, while round letters keep counters open enough to remain readable in continuous text. The numerals echo the same contrast and tapered finishing, giving figures a formal, print-like character that pairs well with the letterforms.
