A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, hairline joins, and tapered terminals that flare subtly at stroke endings. The serifs read as bracketed and sculpted rather than blocky, with crisp, sharp tips on diagonals and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Capitals are broad and weighty with generous interior counters, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and show lively details in letters like a, g, and y where thin connections and flared finishes create a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals match the text color with strong vertical emphasis and fine hairline transitions.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and cover work where high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also serve premium packaging and branding applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a refined, slightly theatrical character suited to emphatic, attention-grabbing typography.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, editorial serif statement with a refined, carved feel—pairing robust stems with delicate hairlines and flared terminals to create contrast, elegance, and impact in display typography.
At large sizes the hairlines and tight joins add sparkle and sophistication, while the heavy stems keep the silhouette stable and impactful. The shapes feel traditional in construction but with enough taper and flare to read as stylized and display-leaning.
