This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with delicate hairlines and sharply defined, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. Stems are sturdy and vertical, while curves transition into thin connections with crisp, controlled join behavior. Capitals feel stately and well-spaced, with pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W) and smooth, rounded bowls that maintain a consistent, polished rhythm. Lowercase features a moderate x-height, compact counters, and a slightly calligraphic taper in strokes, giving the text a lively texture without leaning italic.
This font is well-suited to editorial design, cover lines, and display typography where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, and works effectively for titles on book covers or posters where a refined, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal and upscale, evoking fashion and magazine typography with a confident, dramatic contrast. It feels traditional but not old-fashioned, projecting refinement and authority with a touch of theatrical flair in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-contrast, print-forward serif with distinctive flared terminals, balancing classic proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing. Its construction prioritizes impact and sophistication in larger text while maintaining a coherent, readable rhythm in short passages.
In paragraph-style settings the contrast creates a pronounced vertical rhythm and bright interior spaces, while the flared terminals add a distinctive finish at larger sizes. Numerals appear classic and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ high-contrast construction and sharp detailing.
