A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and tapered, flared terminals that give strokes a subtly sculpted feel. Serifs are small and sharply cut, often bracketed into the stems, and the curves show a calligraphic modulation with pointed joins in places. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals with ample verticality, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable x-height and clear counters. Numerals follow the same sharp, contrasty logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing details.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and section heads, as well as book jackets and cultural branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and premium packaging when set at comfortable sizes that let the hairlines and sharp details reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classical bookish restraint with a slightly dramatic, display-ready sparkle from the thin hairlines and sharp terminals. It feels formal and intelligent rather than playful, with an editorial sensibility suited to refined typography.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with a more sculptural terminal treatment, producing a refined face that reads confidently in both display and larger text. Its contrast and crisp finishing suggest a focus on elegance and typographic sophistication rather than neutrality.
In text, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a lively line texture, and the tapered ends/flare details add character without becoming ornate. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
