A refined serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp, knife-edge joins that create a faceted, cut-paper look. Strokes taper into pointed serifs rather than ending in bracketed feet, giving many letters a triangular “beak” at ends and intersections. Curves are smooth but often interrupted by crisp corners and narrow apertures, producing a sculptural rhythm. Proportions lean toward display: uppercase forms are stately and open, while lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a high-contrast impression through tapered strokes, and distinctive teardrop/diamond-like i and j dots.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book cover titling, and brand marks where the sharp flared terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short passages in editorial layouts at comfortable sizes, but its distinctive terminal shapes make it most impactful in larger, more spacious settings.
The overall tone is elegant and slightly theatrical, mixing classical serif structure with fashion-forward sharpness. It reads as luxurious and editorial, with a cool, modern edge rather than a warm bookish feel.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif silhouette with dramatic, wedge-shaped terminals to create a distinctive, premium display voice. It prioritizes visual signature and rhythm—especially at headline sizes—while retaining familiar roman letter construction for readability.
The design’s most recognizable signature is its consistent use of pointed, flaring terminals across both roman letters and numerals, which gives text a shimmering, chiseled texture at larger sizes. In paragraph settings, the distinctive terminals remain noticeable and lend a stylized cadence, especially on diagonals and curves (V/W/Y, S, and the round letters).
