A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered serifs and flared stroke endings that give many terminals a sculpted, chiseled feel. Strokes transition from hairline-thin joins to strong verticals, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. The letterforms are upright and fairly formal, with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clean, narrow joins that stay delicate at display sizes. Counters are generous and smoothly drawn, while spacing and proportions feel slightly variable from glyph to glyph in a way that reads as intentional and typographic rather than mechanical.
This design is strongest in headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and sharp detailing can lead the composition. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, high-fashion serif voice, and it can work for short passages in print or high-resolution digital layouts when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a sense of luxury and drama driven by the extreme contrast and sharp finishing. It carries a classical, bookish credibility, but the flared terminals add a contemporary edge suited to fashion and culture-facing design.
The type appears designed to deliver a modern, display-forward take on a classical serif: high contrast for impact, flared terminals for character, and carefully shaped bowls and serifs to keep the texture elegant in continuous reading. The consistent upright posture and crisp finishing suggest an emphasis on sophistication and authority rather than casual warmth.
The numerals and capitals feel especially suited to prominent settings, where the hairlines and tapered terminals can be appreciated; in smaller text, the finest strokes may require sufficient size and printing/screen conditions to remain clear. The sample paragraph shows strong word-shape and a confident vertical rhythm, with elegant punctuation and balanced mixed-case texture.
