A high-contrast serif with narrow proportions and pronounced flaring at stroke endings, giving many stems a subtly sculpted, taper-to-flare feel. Serifs are crisp and generally bracketed, with sharp, triangular cues at joins and terminals that create a lively rhythm. Curves are taut and elegant, and the forms show a gently calligraphic modulation—thin hairlines against sturdy verticals—most apparent in letters like E, F, and S and in the numerals’ fine entry strokes. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact counters and clean, slightly condensed spacing that reads tidy and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial contexts where contrast and narrow proportions can create a crisp, upscale texture. It also works well for book covers and branding systems that want a traditional serif voice with distinctive, flared finishing details.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical bookishness with a slightly theatrical sharpness from the tapered hairlines and flared endings. It feels formal and polished, lending a sense of sophistication and tradition while still having enough edge to feel contemporary in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated serif voice with calligraphic contrast and recognizable flared terminals, optimizing for stylish display reading and refined editorial presence while keeping forms disciplined and compact.
The sample text suggests strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive texture line-to-line, where hairlines add sparkle and the flared terminals add weight at the edges of forms. Numerals echo the same contrast and flare, producing an elegant, old-world cadence suitable for prominent typographic roles.
