A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic modulation: thick verticals and hairline joins, with crisp wedge-like feet and subtly bracketed transitions that read more flared than slab. Capitals are broad and stately with prominent, triangular serifs, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and lively stroke tension. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, tapered logic for a cohesive text-and-display color.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine or book-display typography where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, classical voice.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and flared detailing add a sense of luxury and ceremony without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared finishing, creating a contemporary take on classic display typography. Its controlled contrast and crisp terminals emphasize elegance and impact in prominent settings.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a pronounced texture and elegant sparkle at larger sizes, with hairline details becoming a key part of the personality. The crisp terminals and tapered joins give the face a slightly engraved, editorial feel, especially in caps-heavy settings.
