A high-contrast serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and tapered, flared stroke endings. Vertical stems are strong and dark while connecting strokes and hairlines are very fine, giving a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are sharp and bracketed with subtle flare into terminals, and the curves show controlled modulation with occasional pointed joins. Proportions feel balanced and bookish, with slightly generous capitals and a lowercase that reads evenly in text.
It suits headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where contrast and refined detail can be appreciated, especially in editorial layouts. The poised, upscale character also fits branding and packaging for premium or heritage-leaning identities. For best results, allow adequate size and reproduction quality so the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with an editorial, high-end flavor. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals add drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental, suggesting a confident, classical voice.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif tradition with a slightly flared, sculptural finishing, producing an elegant text-and-display face with elevated contrast. The goal seems to be a refined reading texture paired with memorable detailing in select glyphs.
The Q features a notable swash-like tail that curls into the counter, adding a distinctive display detail. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal treatment, with a refined, old-style sensibility in their curves and stress.
