A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and finely tapered hairlines. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress with wedge-like terminals that broaden into crisp, pointed serifs, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, with generous curves and clean joins; round forms (C, O, Q) are smooth and taut, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) finish in sharp, blade-like tips. Lowercase has a compact, readable build with sturdy verticals, tapered arms, and a double-storey g whose ear and link are sharply defined. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing strong stems with thin connecting strokes and pointed finishing details for a formal, display-leaning texture.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and sophisticated brand systems where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It should excel in logotypes, titles, pull quotes, and premium packaging or labels, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its hairlines and flared terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, combining classical bookish credibility with a dramatic, contemporary edge. Its sharp terminals and flared endings add a sense of precision and elegance, making the page feel curated and premium rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize classical serif proportions with pronounced contrast and flared, chiseled terminals, aiming for an elegant display texture that still reads as a traditional serif. Its consistent stress and sharpened detailing suggest a focus on impactful typography for curated, upscale contexts.
The font produces a dark, assertive text color at larger sizes due to robust main strokes, while the hairlines and needle-like joins introduce sparkle and fine detail. Spacing in the sample reads comfortably for display text, but the contrast and delicate strokes suggest it will look best where rendering and printing can preserve thin details.
