A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, tapered terminals. Vertical stems carry most of the weight while hairline connectors and cross-strokes stay very thin, creating a crisp, sparkling rhythm at display sizes. Serifs appear wedge-like and often softly bracketed into the stems, giving the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel rather than purely mechanical construction. Capitals are stately with wide bowls and clean, open counters; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with delicate joins and pointed details, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, elegant logic.
Well-suited to magazine titling, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and other headline-led layouts where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can also work for pull quotes and short subheads when spacing is handled carefully and reproduction is high quality.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and chiseled terminals suggest luxury, tradition, and careful craft, while the crisp outlines keep it feeling modern and intentional rather than overly ornate.
Likely intended as a refined display serif that blends classical proportions with a more sculptural, flared finishing, emphasizing elegance and impact. The consistent high contrast and sharpened terminals appear designed to create a premium, attention-getting typographic voice in editorial and branding contexts.
The design relies on fine hairlines and small interior details, so it reads best when given room and sufficient size. In the sample text, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a lively texture and a formal cadence, especially in all-caps words and headlines.
