A high-contrast serif with sharp thick–thin transitions and subtly flared, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are crisp and largely bracketed, with pointed or wedge-like terminals that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately with generous curves and clean joins, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with a two-storey “a” and compact, well-contained counters. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern and appear designed to align comfortably with text settings.
Best suited for display and editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, cultural branding, and refined marketing materials. It can also work for short-to-medium text passages in print or high-resolution digital settings where its hairlines and contrast remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and formal, projecting a literary, editorial sensibility. Its pronounced contrast and sharp terminals add drama and sophistication, making it feel suitable for premium, tradition-leaning communication rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared finishing detail, delivering a traditional voice with heightened contrast and a touch of calligraphic sharpness for impactful typography.
In text, the strong modulation creates a lively page color, with verticals carrying weight and hairlines staying crisp. The tapered terminals and flared endings add character without becoming overly ornamental, keeping the style expressive yet controlled.
