A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply tapered terminals. The serifs read as flared, with stems swelling into wedge-like endings rather than forming blunt slabs, producing a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are compact with tight internal spacing and crisp joins; curves are smoothly tensioned and counters stay relatively small, keeping the texture dark and controlled. Capitals feel stately and chiseled, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure with neat ascenders/descenders and clear punctuation and numerals that match the same high-contrast logic.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and brand marks where the contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated. It also fits posters and premium packaging that benefit from a dense, elegant typographic voice, and can work for short pull quotes or section titles when given adequate breathing room.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. The sharp terminals and dramatic contrast give it a confident, slightly theatrical presence suited to premium and culture-forward contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif voice: strong contrast, tapered terminals, and flared endings that emphasize sophistication and impact. It prioritizes distinctive display presence while retaining orderly proportions for structured editorial typography.
At larger sizes the tapered terminals and flared endings become a defining feature, creating a lively sparkle along baselines and cap lines. In dense settings the compact proportions and dark color can read intense, so careful spacing and generous leading help preserve clarity.
