A refined serif with pronounced contrast between thin hairlines and fuller primary strokes, paired with subtly flared, tapered terminals that feel informed by a broad-pen logic. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly joined, with crisp, pointed apexes on capitals and gently swelling joins that add a sculpted, chiseled quality. The overall rhythm is moderately open and vertical, with relatively compact bowls and controlled counters; curves end in sharp, clean tips rather than blunt cuts. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, display-leaning presence, while lowercase forms keep a clear, conventional structure with a slightly calligraphic finishing to terminals and diagonals.
Best suited to editorial settings where contrast and refined detailing are assets, such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book or journal covers. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a cultured, classic voice, especially at larger sizes where the tapered terminals and delicate hairlines can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical bookish authority with a contemporary sharpness. Its high-contrast sparkle and tapered endings convey sophistication and a fashion-forward edge, without becoming ornamental or fragile.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-contrast serif with subtly flared endings—combining classical proportions with sharpened terminals for an upscale, contemporary editorial character.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, V, W, X, and Y) show energetic tapering that increases the sense of movement, while round letters maintain smooth, even curvature and a bright interior. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright texture with strong headline impact and a clean, premium feel.
