A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and carefully controlled, with a noticeable diagonal stress that gives bowls and rounds a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Terminals often finish in pointed or angled cuts, and junctions feel sculpted rather than blunt, producing lively silhouettes in letters like a, e, s, and y. Capitals are stately with generous inner counters, while lowercase forms keep compact, readable proportions and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
Well suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, book covers, posters, and brand marks where contrast and sharp terminals can carry visual character. It can also work for short editorial text—pull quotes, decks, and subheads—where a classic yet energetic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining classic book-type refinement with a touch of theatrical sharpness. Its pointed terminals and strong contrast add a sense of drama and prestige, making it feel confident and authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: elegant proportions and readable structure paired with flared stroke endings and pointed terminals to increase impact in display sizes and editorial contexts.
The numerals and capitals share the same flared, tapered logic, creating cohesive texture in mixed settings. The design reads best when the crisp terminals and contrast are allowed to show, giving words a lively sparkle and pronounced typographic color.
