A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals that broaden subtly at stroke endings. The letterforms show sharp, tapered joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with wedge-like serifs and a slightly calligraphic drawing in the curves. Capitals feel stately and compact, with confident vertical stress and crisp apexes, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and lively, varied proportions. Counters are clean and fairly open, and the numerals follow the same polished, contrasty logic with clear, old-style-like curvature and strong hairlines.
This face performs best in headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where its contrast and flared terminals can read clearly. It’s also well-suited to brand marks, luxury packaging, and magazine-style layouts that benefit from a polished, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, combining classic bookish cues with a more dramatic, fashion-forward contrast. Its flared detailing and sharp finishes create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suited to premium contexts without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional serif elegance through pronounced contrast and flared, chiseled endings, delivering a distinctive display presence that still holds together in short text settings.
Spacing appears balanced for display-to-text sizes, with a consistent rhythm in running copy and strong word shapes. The design’s contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will reward generous sizes and thoughtful reproduction, especially where crisp edges can be preserved.
