A high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke terminals and sharply tapered hairlines. Vertical stems read sturdy and dark while joins and curves thin quickly, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are small-to-moderate with smooth bracketing and a subtly calligraphic stress, giving round forms a sculpted, tensioned feel. Proportions lean wide and open, with compact counters in some letters and a mix of straight, knife-like diagonals and fuller bowls for a lively texture in text.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and poster work where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also support short-form editorial text, pull quotes, and section openers, especially in print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, balancing classical bookishness with fashion-forward drama. Its bright hairlines and flared endings evoke premium print, where sharp detail and contrast signal sophistication and authority.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, using flared stroke endings and crisp hairlines to create an upscale, editorial voice. The design appears aimed at strong typographic presence with elegant detail rather than neutrality.
The italic is not shown; the displayed roman relies on strong vertical emphasis and precise, pointed joins that can appear especially crisp at larger sizes. Lowercase forms show a traditional, editorial construction with a prominent, looped descender on the g and neatly finished terminals that keep word shapes energetic.
