A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, sculptural feel. The letterforms are relatively narrow with a strong vertical axis, alternating hairline connections against dense main strokes. Curves are taut and controlled, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open while maintaining a tight, elegant rhythm. Numerals and capitals read assertively, while the lowercase adds movement through pronounced modulation and distinctive, calligraphic details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand applications where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It works especially well for pull quotes, section openers, and packaging-style titling; for long body copy, it will typically perform best at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and flared endings create a sense of luxury and intention, lending text a confident, editorial voice that feels both traditional and stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a flared serif: narrow, high-contrast proportions for impact, paired with tapered serifs and calligraphic modulation to add sophistication and distinctive flavor in display settings.
In the sample text, the type maintains a steady texture at larger sizes, where the hairlines and tapered serifs remain a key part of its character. The ampersand and several lowercase forms show expressive stroke transitions that reinforce the display-leaning personality without tipping into script-like informality.
