A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and tapered, flaring terminals that give strokes a subtly calligraphic cadence. Serifs are sharp and neatly bracketed, with wedge-like finishing on many letters that creates a lively, sculpted edge. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase shows crisp joins, compact bowls, and a flowing italic-like modulation despite remaining upright. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper, reading clean and formal at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-scale text where its contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly. It also works well for magazine typography, book covers, and refined branding systems that want a classic serif voice with a bit of flair. For longer passages, it will shine in spacious settings with generous leading and careful sizing.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion/editorial sophistication. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the flared endings keep it from feeling rigid or purely mechanical. The texture in paragraphs looks composed and upscale, suited to premium typography.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif proportions with expressive, flared terminals and strong contrast for a luxurious, contemporary-editorial look. It aims to deliver a distinctive display color while remaining structured enough for composed multi-line typography.
Counters are relatively open for a Didone-leaning contrast level, helping maintain clarity in words and mixed-case settings. The punctuation and ampersand inherit the same pointed, refined detailing, reinforcing a consistent, crafted finish across the set.
