A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and broader vertical stems that subtly flare into tapered, wedge-like terminals. Curves are smooth and generous, with open counters and a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps the rhythm lively. The lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, supporting clear word shapes, while capitals feel stately and finely drawn. Serifs read more as flared stroke endings than bracketed slabs, giving the design a crisp, sculpted finish in both text and display sizes.
This face is well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, cultural journalism, and book jacket titling—where contrast and refined detailing can shine. It can also support premium branding systems and packaging when used at comfortable sizes, and works effectively for pull quotes and section heads that need elegance with clarity.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classical sophistication with a modern lightness. Its sharp terminals and sweeping curves convey a sense of fashion, culture, and editorial authority without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif voice: high contrast and sharp finishing for sophistication, paired with open forms and a tall lowercase for readability and contemporary texture. The flared endings provide a distinctive signature that separates it from more conventional transitional or Didone-inspired serifs.
The italics are not shown; all samples appear roman. Numerals are lining and follow the same contrast and terminal logic as the letters, with elegant curves and delicate joins. The lowercase includes a single-storey “g,” reinforcing the contemporary, humanist-leaning feel within a formal serif structure.
