A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and pointed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show pronounced modulation with thin hairlines and fuller verticals, producing a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Capitals are proportionally generous and structured, while lowercase maintains a steady x-height with compact, elegant forms; apertures and joins feel deliberate and slightly calligraphic. Figures follow the same contrast and flare, with rounded forms and fine terminals that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
This font is well suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and refined branding applications that call for a classic serif voice with added visual bite.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical bookish cues with a slightly dramatic edge from its sharp terminals and strong contrast. It feels formal and composed, suited to settings where a sense of polish and authority is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif silhouette, using flared, tapered terminals and strong stroke contrast to create a crisp, premium texture. Its proportions and detailing suggest a focus on elegant display typography rather than utilitarian text settings.
The flared endings and thin hairlines create a lively texture in headlines, but the most delicate strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes or in low-contrast reproduction. The design’s sharpness and contrast give it a distinctive, high-end presence in display use.
