This serif shows pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines, with sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as tapered terminals rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are bracketed and sharply articulated, and many joins have a subtly calligraphic tension that gives the letters a lively, chiseled quality. Uppercase forms feel tall and authoritative, with crisp apexes in A, V, and W and generous interior space in rounded letters like O and Q. The lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm, with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and neatly tapered ascenders and descenders; numerals echo the same high-contrast, flared detailing.
This design is well suited to headlines, magazine typography, and book jackets where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also works for premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with a bit of flourish, while remaining clear enough for short to moderate text settings.
The overall tone is polished and formal, evoking bookish sophistication with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp transitions and refined terminals add drama and a sense of craft, making the text feel premium and considered rather than utilitarian.
The letterforms suggest an intention to blend traditional serif structure with more sculptural, tapered finishing, creating a refined display-ready texture without abandoning familiar proportions. It appears designed to provide strong presence in titles and editorial layouts through contrast, crisp edges, and expressive terminals.
In continuous text the strong vertical stress and fine hairlines create a crisp, high-definition texture, especially at larger sizes. The ampersand and diagonal-heavy capitals (V, W, X, Y) show particularly expressive flaring and give headlines a distinctive signature.
