This serif has a strongly sculpted, high-contrast build with thick verticals and very fine hairlines that create crisp joins and sharp internal corners. Serifs read as wedge-like and bracketed, with flared, calligraphic transitions where stems broaden into terminals; several letters show beaked or tapered endings that add bite without becoming overly ornate. The uppercase feels stately and compact with assertive vertical stress, while the lowercase is slightly more open and lively, with distinctive tails and angled terminals that keep texture moving across a line. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, giving figures a refined, editorial presence rather than a purely utilitarian one.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, display typography, and brand identities that need a refined, premium voice. It can also work for short blocks of text in print-oriented layouts where its contrast and sharp detailing can be preserved.
Overall tone is poised and high-end, balancing classical tradition with a fashion-forward edge. The sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a dramatic, printed-page elegance that feels confident and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury-inflected take on a traditional serif, using flared terminals and pronounced contrast to create impact and sophistication in display and editorial settings.
In text, the rhythm is built from dark vertical strokes punctuated by needle-like hairlines, producing a dense, contrasty color that favors larger sizes. The italic is not shown, but the roman style already carries a subtle calligraphic energy through its tapered terminals and directional stress.
