A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis and crisp transitions between thick stems and hairline joins. Stems often swell subtly into flared terminals, giving many letters a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt slab endings. Serifs are fine and sharp, with delicate brackets where strokes meet; curves are smooth and tightly controlled. Proportions read compact and tall, with a steady rhythm in text and clean, formal punctuation and numerals.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style display typography, book covers, and refined branding where contrast and sharp detail can be appreciated. It also works for pull quotes and section headings in editorial layouts, providing a dignified, high-end voice with strong typographic color.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical bookish authority with a slightly theatrical contrast. The flared terminals add a bespoke, crafted feel that reads premium and intentional without becoming ornate. It conveys seriousness, elegance, and a measured sophistication suited to high-end typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, combining traditional proportions with flared, sculptural terminals for added character. It prioritizes elegance and authority in display and editorial settings, creating a distinctive texture that feels crafted rather than purely mechanical.
In the sample text, the pronounced thick–thin modulation creates strong texture and sparkle, especially in larger sizes. The narrow set and vertical emphasis help headlines feel tall and composed, while the hairline details suggest careful use is best when reproduction quality is high.
