A high-contrast serif with pronounced modulation between hairlines and strong verticals, producing a crisp, luminous page color. Serifs are tapered and slightly flared with smooth bracketed joins, giving terminals a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than blunt slabs. Capitals are stately and compact with sharp apexes, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height, tight apertures, and thin entry strokes. Curves (notably in C, S, and O) show controlled stress and clean counters; numerals follow the same contrast and finish, reading as formal, display-oriented figures.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and other display typography where its contrast and flared finishing can read cleanly. It also fits editorial branding, book or magazine covers, and premium packaging or invitations that benefit from a formal, crafted serif presence.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining classical authority with a slightly theatrical sharpness from the extreme contrast. It feels polished and upscale—more gala invitation or magazine cover than utilitarian UI copy—while still maintaining a disciplined, traditional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, luxurious silhouette. It prioritizes visual impact and typographic hierarchy, balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more dramatic detailing.
In text setting, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create striking sparkle and strong hierarchy, especially at larger sizes. The heavy-to-thin transitions are consistent across letters and figures, and the widened, flared endings add a distinctive signature to stems and terminals without becoming ornamental.
