A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. The letterforms are upright and generously proportioned, with wide capitals and a strong horizontal presence in round forms like O and C. Serifs read as sharp and crisp, often transitioning from stems via subtle bracketing rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and taut, while joins and cross-strokes stay clean and controlled, giving the design a polished, print-oriented rhythm.
This style performs best in headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also suits magazine layouts and book covers that want a classic yet striking serif voice, and can be used for short passages or refined branding when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, mixing classical bookish manners with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and assertive serifs lend a premium, fashion-forward feel, while the steady upright construction keeps it authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast serif voice with distinctive flared terminals—balancing classical proportions with a contemporary, attention-grabbing finish for editorial and display typography.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively texture with prominent vertical emphasis, and the flared endings add distinctive sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals appear especially suited to display settings, with crisp interior counters and clear silhouette differentiation.
