A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering stroke endings that often flare subtly as they meet the terminals. Serifs read as fine, sharp wedges with a slightly calligraphic feel rather than blocky slabs, and curves are smooth and polished with tight, controlled apertures. The caps show confident vertical stress and a formal rhythm; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact bowls and delicate joins, giving text a tailored, sculpted color. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with hairline links and pointed finishing cuts.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, magazine typography, and branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and upscale packaging, especially when paired with ample whitespace and restrained companion fonts.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting sophistication and authority with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp terminals and gleaming hairlines suggest luxury and tradition, while the flared endings add a subtly crafted, bespoke character.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif lettering, combining elegant proportions with flared, incisive terminals for impactful display typography and premium editorial settings.
The design relies on thin hairlines and tight internal spaces, so clarity improves with generous sizes, careful spacing, and sufficient reproduction quality. In longer passages it creates a lively, high-contrast texture that feels more display-forward than utilitarian.
