A high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings and crisp, tapered terminals. The design pairs sturdy vertical stems with delicate hairlines, producing a clean, polished rhythm in both display sizes and paragraph settings. Proportions feel generously set with open counters and a notably tall x-height, while curves (C, O, S) stay smooth and controlled. Serifs read more as sharpened, bracketed flares than flat slabs, and joins often resolve into pointed or blade-like endings that add tension without becoming ornate.
Well-suited to magazine typography, headlines, and book-cover titles where contrast and sharp finishing can carry a sophisticated message. It also works for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, editorial feel, and for posters or pull quotes where the crisp flares add visual emphasis without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is editorial and refined, with a fashion-and-publishing sheen. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast give it a dramatic, confident voice, while the upright structure keeps it composed and contemporary. The result feels premium and literary rather than quirky or informal.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast reading and display serif with flared, sharpened endings—balancing classical serif cues with a cleaner, more contemporary finish. It aims for strong presence and elegance, creating a distinctive texture that remains orderly in continuous text.
Numerals show the same contrast and flare behavior as the letters, with clear, sculpted forms and strong baseline presence. Lowercase maintains a consistent, clean texture; round letters remain airy, while strokes that finish on diagonals or curves often end in precise, tapered points that enhance the font’s crispness.
