This serif shows sculpted, high-contrast strokes with distinctly flared terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems feel firm and stately while hairlines stay fine, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with lively entry/exit strokes and pointed joins that add sparkle in letters like C, S, a, and e. The overall proportions are moderately narrow to average with a balanced, readable x-height, and the design maintains a consistent, polished texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, magazine layouts, and brand identities where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for premium packaging and display applications, and can serve as a distinctive secondary text face when set with generous size and leading.
The tone is elegant and editorial, combining classic bookish authority with fashion-forward drama. Its bright hairlines and flared endings give it a refined, luxurious feel suited to premium branding and display typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif with more sculptural, flared stroke endings, emphasizing elegance and visual impact. It prioritizes a refined, stylish presence and a crisp typographic color in display and editorial settings.
In the text sample, the face holds together well at large sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals become a defining detail. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as formal and composed rather than utilitarian.
