A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp triangular cues on several joins and terminals, while curves show smooth, controlled modulation. Proportions lean elegant and slightly narrow in the uppercase, with open counters and a consistent vertical rhythm; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with delicate entry/exit strokes and compact, clean details. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, pairing thin hairlines with fuller curves and pointed finishing strokes for a polished, display-leaning texture.
Well suited to magazine headlines, cultural/editorial layouts, book jackets, and brand identities that want an elegant serif voice. It also fits invitations and premium packaging where sharp contrast and tapered terminals can carry a sophisticated tone; it is best when given enough size and breathing room for the fine details to show.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical bookish manners with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and tapered detailing create a sense of luxury and precision, reading as composed and formal rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, polished serif with calligraphic contrast and flared finishing strokes, aiming for strong personality in display settings while retaining a traditional, readable structure.
In the sample text, the font holds together well at larger sizes where hairlines stay legible and the flared terminals add character without feeling ornate. The pointed finishing strokes and tight curves can create a slightly sparkling texture in dense settings, giving it presence in headlines while maintaining typographic discipline.
