A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals that widen into wedge-like endings. The letterforms pair crisp hairlines with weighty verticals, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm and an elegant, engraved feel. Serifs are pointed and tapered rather than blocky, and curves are smoothly tensioned with pronounced thick–thin modulation. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with confident, formal capitals and a lower-case that keeps a steady, readable x-height while retaining dramatic contrast. Numerals follow the same display-minded contrast, with delicate joins and bold main strokes that read best at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or book display typography where contrast and refinement can shine. It can also support premium branding systems, packaging, and identities that want a classic, upscale voice, especially when used at sizes that preserve the hairline detail and flare-shaped terminals.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and flared detailing evoke classic print luxury—poised, dramatic, and a bit theatrical—suited to settings where elegance and authority are the primary message.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif dignity with a more contemporary, sculpted flare—delivering strong elegance and visual drama without becoming ornate. Its contrast and terminal treatment suggest a display-first goal: create a memorable, luxurious texture for editorial and brand-led typography.
In the sample text, dense paragraphs create a strong typographic texture with prominent vertical strokes and bright counters, while hairlines remain fine and precise. The shapes feel carefully carved and slightly calligraphic, giving headings a premium, fashion-forward presence but suggesting more caution for very small sizes or low-resolution environments due to the delicacy of thin strokes.
