A high-contrast serif with pronounced modulation between thick verticals and hairline joins, paired with tapering strokes that widen into subtly flared endings. Serifs are sharp and crisp, giving the outlines a cut, chiseled feel, while curves show strong calligraphic logic and tight, controlled apertures. Capitals read stately and formal with slightly triangular, wedge-like details, and the lowercase includes clear text-serif traits such as a two-storey a, a narrow, pointed r shoulder, and a double-storey g with a small ear. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast with slender horizontals and emphatic vertical weight, producing a lively, fashion-forward rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and branding contexts where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry strong personality. It will also work well for invitations and formal announcements, and for pull quotes or section openers where its sharp serifs and flared endings can be given room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing traditional book-seriff authority with a more stylized, display-ready sharpness. Its strong contrast and flared finishing strokes create a sense of luxury and ceremony, with an editorial voice that feels confident and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared terminals, aiming for sophistication and impact rather than quiet neutrality. It emphasizes sculptural letterforms and a dynamic thick–thin rhythm to create a memorable, premium look in display typography.
In the text sample, the narrow hairlines and pointed details become a defining texture, especially in dense settings; the design’s crisp joins and tapered curves reward larger sizes where the contrast and terminals can be appreciated. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) show confident, sculpted bowls, and the punctuation and dots appear compact and neat, supporting a clean, composed color on the page.
