A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick strokes, featuring subtly flared stroke endings that read as softened, wedge-like terminals rather than hard bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic modulation and crisp joins that keep counters open in both caps and lowercase. Proportions feel balanced and bookish: capitals are stately and wide enough for strong word shapes, while lowercase has compact, sturdy bowls and a clear, upright rhythm. Figures follow the same contrast and flare logic, giving numerals a refined, display-ready presence.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging—especially when used at larger sizes with generous spacing—while remaining legible enough for short text passages and captions in controlled print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, with a quiet sense of luxury and tradition. Its strong thick–thin rhythm and tapered endings evoke editorial and fashion typography, projecting confidence without feeling ornamental or playful.
The font appears designed to blend classic serif authority with a more contemporary, sculpted finish through flared terminals and strong contrast. The intention seems to be a versatile display-and-editorial face that delivers sophistication and impact while maintaining disciplined, readable forms.
The design relies on contrast and terminal shaping for personality: hairlines stay very fine, while stems and bowls carry substantial weight, creating a sharp black-and-white texture at larger sizes. The flare at the ends of strokes adds a sculptural feel that softens the extremes of the contrast and helps the letterforms feel cohesive across text and numerals.
