A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes that subtly widen into flared, wedge-like endings. Serifs are sharp and neatly bracketed, with a calligraphic modulation that gives strokes a carved, slightly tapered feel rather than purely mechanical straight stems. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate x-height, compact counters, and pronounced thick–thin transitions that read especially clearly in capitals. The lowercase shows lively, angled terminals and asymmetric detailing in joins and bowls, creating an energetic rhythm while remaining clean and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where contrast and sharp serif detail can shine. It can also serve branding, packaging, and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic-yet-contemporary serif voice, and it can work in short-to-medium text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp serifs and pronounced modulation convey elegance and seriousness, while the flared stroke endings add a subtle warmth and personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, high-contrast serif voice with flared terminals that add distinction and a subtly calligraphic finish. It aims for a premium, publication-ready look that remains legible while emphasizing elegance and typographic character.
The capitals appear stately and even, while the lowercase introduces more movement through angled terminals and brisk curves, giving text a dynamic texture. Numerals carry the same contrast and flare, with a formal, display-friendly presence.
