A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes that swell into subtly flared terminals rather than blunt slab endings. The letterforms show a calligraphic skeleton: sharp apexes on A and V/W, narrow joins, and pronounced thick–thin modulation that stays clean and controlled. Serifs and terminals read as wedge-like and slightly splayed, giving stems a sculpted, chiseled finish. Round letters like O/C/G are smooth and open, while details such as the Q tail and the ear of g add a lightly expressive, editorial personality without becoming ornate.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where contrast and sharp detail can provide visual interest. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, slightly dramatic serif voice, especially in larger sizes where the flared terminals and thin hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, balancing classic bookish authority with a contemporary, high-end sheen. Its sharp transitions and flared finishing strokes create a sense of drama and poise, suited to designs that want elegance with a bit of bite.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, elegant serif with calligraphic influence and flared stroke endings, offering a distinctive alternative to purely transitional or Didone styles. It aims to read as premium and articulate, with enough character in terminals and curves to stand out in contemporary editorial and brand settings.
Spacing in the sample text feels designed for display-to-text crossover: dense enough to hold together in headlines, yet with clear counters that keep lines readable at larger paragraph sizes. Numerals appear lining with similarly high contrast and crisp terminals, matching the overall rhythm and sparkle of the capitals.
