A high-contrast serif with a crisp, editorial silhouette and subtly flared stroke endings. Stems remain firm and vertical while hairlines turn very thin, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and clear diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and tapered rather than blunt, and many joins resolve into small wedge-like shapes, giving the face a slightly calligraphic, carved feel. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate caps, a normal x-height, and a mix of narrower and wider letterforms that produces a lively texture in text.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book covers, and headline systems where high contrast can provide hierarchy and elegance. It can also support branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice with a slightly stylized, flared finish, especially in display sizes.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a fashion-and-publishing polish. It reads as traditional rather than playful, but the flared detailing adds a touch of drama and sophistication that feels premium and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for editorial typography, combining traditional proportions with flared, tapered endings to increase visual snap and sophistication in titles and prominent text.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and sharp terminals create a sparkling rhythm at larger sizes, while dense settings may need comfortable spacing to keep thin strokes from visually crowding. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and appear designed to sit confidently alongside capitals in display and titling contexts.
