A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered (wedge-like) serifs and a distinctly flared feel where strokes broaden into terminals. The forms show strong vertical stress, slim hairlines, and pronounced thick–thin modulation, creating a sharp, sculpted texture in text. Serifs are bracketing and pointed rather than blunt, with elegant, slightly calligraphic joins and tight apertures in several lowercase shapes. Proportions are compact and vertical, with a relatively tall lowercase presence and assertive capitals that keep a disciplined, upright stance.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, decks, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp serifs add sophistication. It can also support book covers, luxury-oriented branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-style voice. In longer passages it creates a strong typographic color, especially when line length and spacing are tuned to its narrow, high-contrast rhythm.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a hint of theatrical contrast that reads as premium and editorial. It suggests tradition and seriousness while still feeling stylish and attention-grabbing in larger settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared terminals, emphasizing elegance and impact without resorting to heavy weight. It balances traditional proportions with sharper, more dramatic finishing to stand out in display and editorial contexts.
In sample text, the strong contrast produces a lively sparkle, especially in sequences with many hairlines and sharp serifs. The italic-like energy comes from the tapered terminals and stress rather than slant, giving the design a poised, engraved feel. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with narrow counters and crisp endings that keep the set visually consistent.
