A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and sturdy verticals, showing a distinctly calligraphic stress. Serifs are finely bracketed and often flare subtly from the stems, giving terminals a sculpted, chiseled finish rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with crisp apexes and balanced bowls, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with open counters and clear joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and finishing, reading cleanly at display sizes with lively curves and thin connecting strokes.
This style suits editorial typography—magazine headlines, book covers, and section openers—where contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for formal invitations, branding wordmarks, and other display applications that benefit from an elegant, classical serif voice.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, pairing classical bookish manners with a slightly dramatic, engraved sparkle. It feels formal without becoming stiff, lending a cultured, literary voice to headlines and refined typographic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, traditional reading of a serif with flared, bracketed finishing and strong contrast, emphasizing sophistication and typographic color at larger sizes. Its letterforms prioritize elegance and crispness, aiming for a premium, literary presence.
The font’s texture is defined by pronounced thick–thin transitions and delicate terminals, which create a bright, shimmering line on the page. Curves and diagonals (notably in letters like S, C, and V/W forms) show careful modulation, reinforcing a polished, print-oriented character.
