A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic feel. Stems show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline connections and tapered joins that stay crisp in the sample text. Serifs are sharp and slightly splayed rather than slabby, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are drawn with a taut, polished tension. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height; lowercase forms like a, e, and g read traditional, while the numerals mix straight, triangular notches with rounded bowls (e.g., 6/8/9) for a stately rhythm.
Works best in headlines, deck type, magazine layouts, and book or journal titling where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, particularly for cultural, fashion, or editorial contexts that benefit from a refined serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, combining classical bookish authority with a slightly theatrical, display-ready sparkle from the strong contrast and flared finishes. It feels formal and cultivated, suited to designs that want gravitas without becoming heavy or blunt.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with expressive, flared stroke endings that add sophistication and visual energy. Its controlled proportions and crisp modulation suggest a focus on high-end editorial and title typography rather than purely utilitarian text setting.
Spacing and rhythm in the paragraph sample look even and composed, with distinctive wedge terminals on diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and crisp hairlines that emphasize hierarchy at larger sizes. The uppercase has a commanding presence, while the lowercase maintains a restrained, traditional texture for setting short to medium passages.
