A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp wedge-like terminals. Vertical strokes read dark and steady while hairlines stay thin and taut, creating a sharp, polished rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and taper into the stems rather than forming slabs, and curves are smooth with slightly calligraphic modulation. Capitals feel stately and formal, while the lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a two-storey a and g and clear, traditional proportions.
Best suited to display and editorial applications—headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, book covers, and premium brand identities—where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short text passages in print-like settings, but its thin hairlines suggest more confident use at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing strokes add drama and sophistication, giving text a ceremonial, premium feel without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif form, combining traditional structure with flared, sharpened finishing strokes to produce a distinctive, upscale texture for editorial and branding contexts.
The figures are proportional-looking and align with the same contrast logic as the letters, lending a cohesive, print-oriented texture. In larger sizes the fine hairlines and tapered joins become a prominent style feature, emphasizing crispness and elegance.
