A refined serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and distinctly tapered, flared terminals that create a subtle wedge-like finish rather than blunt slabs. Serifs are sharp and economical, with thin hairlines and slightly swelling joins that give the outlines a gently calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel measured and classical: capitals are stately with smooth bowls and clear vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with open counters and tidy joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same restrained logic, staying clean and legible while preserving the font’s elegant stroke modulation.
This font performs best in headlines, magazine typography, and other display settings where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It is a strong choice for book covers, editorial layouts, cultural institutions, and luxury or beauty branding that benefits from an elevated, modern-classic serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting luxury and seriousness without feeling ornate. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast suggest contemporary refinement—well suited to designs that want quiet sophistication and a premium, literary voice.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more contemporary, sculpted terminal treatment. By emphasizing clean high-contrast strokes and flared endings, it aims to deliver a distinctive editorial voice that feels premium, precise, and confidently modern.
The spacing and rhythm in the sample text read evenly at display sizes, with strong vertical structure and delicate hairlines that add sparkle. Curved letters show smooth transitions into thin strokes, and the flared endings give a distinctive signature that feels neither purely oldstyle nor purely didone.
