A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and subtly flared, wedge-like serif endings that feel inked rather than purely mechanical. Curves are smooth and taut, with fine hairlines and crisp joins; verticals carry the visual weight while horizontals and diagonals taper sharply. Proportions lean classical with a steady, upright stance, moderate x-height, and generous, open counters that keep the texture clear in continuous text. Numerals and capitals show a stately rhythm with pointed finishing strokes and a slightly calligraphic stress, while lowercase forms maintain a clean, bookish cadence.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where high contrast and sharp detail can shine. It also fits luxury and cultural branding—packaging, invitations, posters, and book or film titling—where a classic yet dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a refined, high-end sensibility with a hint of drama from the extreme contrast and sharp finishing strokes. It reads as confident and traditional, suited to sophisticated editorial and cultural contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to modernize classical serif proportions with a flared, calligraphic finish and emphatic contrast, creating a refined text-and-display face that feels premium and expressive without losing readability.
Distinctive flaring at stroke ends and tapered terminals add sparkle at display sizes, while the consistent contrast pattern helps lines of text form an even, dignified color. The design’s sharp hairlines and pointed details contribute to a crisp, fashion-forward finish when set large.
