A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals that subtly flare as they approach terminals. Serifs read as wedge-like and tapered rather than bracketed slabs, giving strokes a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. The letterforms are upright with a steady, bookish rhythm; round characters are smoothly modeled, and diagonals (V, W, Y) come to sharp, confident points. Lowercase shows a moderate x-height with distinctive, slightly lively shapes—noticeable curvature in the bowls and a more expressive, single-storey feel on letters like g—while figures align with the same contrast and tapering behavior for a cohesive texture.
Works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and branded typography where its contrast and flared finishing can be appreciated. It can also serve as a text companion in more spacious editorial layouts, particularly when printed or used at comfortable sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, balancing classic typography cues with a hint of dramatic, display-like refinement. It feels suited to sophisticated publishing and brand voices where sharpness, poise, and a touch of theatrical contrast are welcome.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on classical serif construction, using flared terminals and sharp wedge serifs to add character without losing typographic discipline. The intent appears to be a font that reads as premium and traditional at a glance, yet distinctive in detail.
At larger sizes the thin connecting strokes and tapered joins become a defining feature, creating sparkle and a chiseled silhouette. In dense settings, the strong contrast and pointed terminals make spacing and line length feel more prominent, emphasizing a deliberate, crafted texture.
