A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharply tapered hairlines. Stems feel slightly chiseled, with bracketed transitions into wedge-like serifs that add a subtle swelling at terminals rather than flat slabs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with crisp joins and controlled curves; the lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented construction with compact bowls, clear counters, and a two-storey “g.” Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with thin entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads best at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and large editorial typography where the dramatic contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and book-cover titling that calls for a classic yet striking serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and flared detailing create a sense of luxury and formality, while the slightly calligraphic modulation keeps it lively rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, display-leaning serif with traditional proportions, using flared terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive, high-end editorial texture.
The sample text demonstrates a strong vertical rhythm and a pronounced thick–thin cadence that can dominate a page when set large. Fine hairlines and delicate joins suggest it will reward generous sizing and careful spacing, especially in bright backgrounds where the thin strokes can visually recede.
