This serif shows sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and a distinctly calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines cutting into fuller stems. Serifs read more like pointed wedges than flat brackets, giving terminals a crisp, chiseled finish. The overall texture is clean and bright at text sizes, while the contrast and narrow proportions create an energetic vertical rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Bowls and counters stay relatively open, and curves transition into strokes with a subtly sculpted feel rather than purely geometric construction.
It suits magazine headlines, book-cover titling, and cultural or fashion editorial design where contrast and crisp terminals can add sophistication. It can also work for branding in premium contexts—especially for wordmarks that benefit from a narrow, vertical cadence—while remaining legible in short text blocks and pull quotes.
The tone is polished and literary, with a classical elegance that feels at home in editorial settings. The sharp flare and high-contrast rhythm add a hint of drama and formality, lending headlines a confident, cultivated voice without tipping into ornament for its own sake.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif authority with a more contemporary, sculpted sharpness, using flared endings and strong contrast to create presence at display sizes while keeping text-friendly clarity.
Figures and capitals carry the same wedge-ended logic as the letters, producing a consistent, slightly incisive silhouette. The italic is not shown, but the roman letterforms already suggest pen-informed movement through their tapered joins and pointed terminals.
