A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals rather than blunt slabs. Vertical stems are crisp and dominant, while joins and curves show smooth modulation that gives bowls and counters a polished, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel classical with a moderately sized x-height, open counters, and clear hierarchy between thick stems and hairline links; numerals and caps maintain a consistent, stately color on the page.
Best suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, and book or journal covers—where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated at display sizes. It can also support premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from a refined serif voice.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, balancing classic bookish tradition with a contemporary sharpness. Its clean, dramatic contrast and sculptural endings suggest luxury, cultural authority, and editorial confidence without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif with classical proportions and a distinctive flared finishing language, producing strong typographic contrast and an elegant, authoritative texture in display and editorial settings.
In text, the face creates a lively sparkle from thin connections and tapered finishing strokes, while maintaining a firm baseline and steady vertical stress. The design’s flared endings give letters a subtly chiseled feel that adds presence in headlines and sophistication in larger paragraphs.
