A high-contrast serif with sculpted, gently flared stems and crisp bracketed serifs. The stroke modulation is pronounced, with thin hairlines and stronger verticals, and terminals often finish in tapered, wedge-like shapes. Curves are smooth and generously rounded (notably in O/C), while joins and apexes stay sharp and controlled, giving an overall polished, bookish texture. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic flow across text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, book jackets, and brand identities where high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can work in short to medium text settings with comfortable leading, but its thin hairlines and sharp terminals suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The tone reads elegant and traditional with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes lend a formal, cultivated voice suited to literary and fashion-adjacent contexts, while still feeling composed rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a subtly flared, sculptural stroke ending, creating a distinctive editorial voice. It aims for sophistication and impact without moving into overly decorative territory, balancing readability with an expressive, high-contrast rhythm.
Uppercase forms project authority through strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains readability with clear shapes and consistent modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, presenting as stately and display-leaning, especially where thin strokes and tapered terminals become more prominent at larger sizes.
