A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with sharply tapered joins, and curves are smooth and tensioned, giving bowls and counters a refined, slightly calligraphic profile. The capitals feel stately and moderately wide with clean vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a balanced texture with clear serifs and tapered endings that keep word shapes lively rather than mechanical. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, reading as display-leaning with elegant, sharp finishing.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style titling, book jackets, and elegant pull quotes where contrast and sharp finishing can shine. It can also support premium brand identities and packaging when used with generous spacing and strong hierarchy, and it can work for short-to-medium reading passages when set with appropriate size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that suggests heritage publishing and refined branding. Its sharp contrast and flared details add drama and poise, creating a confident, upscale impression without looking overly ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif letterforms, emphasizing flared terminals and a vivid thick–thin rhythm for high-impact typography. The intention appears to be a refined, display-forward serif that retains enough structure and regularity to function beyond pure ornament.
At larger sizes the pointed terminals and tapered stroke endings become a defining feature, adding sparkle and a slightly engraved feel to the page. The design’s contrast and crisp finishing can make it feel more formal and headline-oriented than purely utilitarian text serifs.
