A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller verticals that finish in subtly flared, bracketed terminals rather than blunt slabs. The forms show a calligraphic logic: curved strokes swell smoothly, joins are clean, and many terminals taper to sharp points. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow with generous internal counters (notably in O and Q), while lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height. Serifs and stroke endings are consistently shaped, giving the face a polished, curated texture in text and a crisp silhouette in display sizes.
This style is well suited to magazine/editorial typography, large headlines, and brand identities that benefit from an upscale, classic voice. It can also work for book or chapter titles and formal stationery, where its sharp, flared terminals and crisp contrast provide a distinctive, premium finish.
The overall tone is refined and cultured, with a fashionable editorial sparkle from the strong thick–thin contrast and sharp finishing details. It suggests tradition and authority, but with enough sharpness and flare to feel contemporary and design-forward.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, tapering stroke endings to create a sophisticated, high-fashion text-and-display voice. Its consistent contrast and carefully shaped terminals aim for clarity and elegance while adding a touch of drama for prominent typographic moments.
In the sample text, the contrast produces lively color and distinct word shapes, while the flared endings add a subtle sculpted quality to stems and arms. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, reading as formal and suited to typographic settings where elegance matters.
