A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms show pronounced modulation, with vertical strokes carrying most of the weight and thin, crisp joins and cross-strokes. Serifs and terminals often widen into wedge-like endings, giving a subtly calligraphic, chiseled feel rather than purely mechanical brackets. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a lively rhythm that reads cleanly at display sizes while retaining traditional text-face structure.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads, book and magazine typography, and brand identities that need a classic, upscale impression. It can also work for short-form reading in pull quotes or introductory text where contrast and elegant detailing are an advantage.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. Its crisp contrast and flared finishes suggest an elevated, editorial voice—formal without feeling heavy or old-fashioned, and stylish without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with more expressive, flared stroke endings to create a refined display voice that remains readable and structured. It aims for an editorial balance: high contrast and elegance paired with consistent, disciplined letter construction for dependable composition.
Capitals feel stately and well-contained, while lowercase forms keep a steady texture with clear differentiation in characters like a, g, and y. Numerals echo the same contrast and terminal shaping, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed text and figures.
