A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that often broaden into subtle flares. Serifs are bracketed and sculpted rather than slabby, giving stems a chiseled, engraved feel and producing a lively rhythm across words. Round letters show tight, controlled curves with a slightly vertical stress, while joins and diagonals stay clean and decisive. The figures follow the same contrast and flare logic, with curving forms (like 2, 3, 5, 8, 9) showing strong hairlines and weighty main strokes for an elegant, display-leaning texture.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book and magazine typography, especially for titles and section openers, and works effectively for refined branding, packaging, and invitations that call for a classic, upscale voice.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge from its sharp hairlines and flared endings. It feels authoritative and polished, suited to premium contexts where a sense of tradition and craft is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif proportions, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add sculptural character without sacrificing clarity. It aims to provide an elevated, publication-ready look that feels traditional yet sharply finished.
In text settings the letterforms create clear word shapes with pronounced contrast that reads confidently at larger sizes; the thinnest strokes and pointed terminals contribute sparkle and precision. Capitals carry a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains a composed, bookish flow with a distinctly serif-driven texture.
