A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a distinctly sculpted, flared treatment where strokes broaden into terminals and serifs. The letterforms feel crisp and taut, with sharp wedge-like serifs, tapered curves, and narrow hairlines that create a refined, glossy rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the style, and the lowercase shows compact, sturdy stems with a two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g” featuring a strong ear and a sweeping tail. Numerals are bold and display-oriented, with prominent curves and fine joins that reinforce the dramatic contrast.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other large-size editorial applications where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging—especially for fashion, beauty, or luxury goods—where a refined, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography. Its sharp serifs and gleaming contrast convey formality and confidence, while the flared shaping adds a carved, bespoke feel that reads as premium rather than purely academic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing sharp, flared finishing and dramatic stroke modulation for impact in display typography. Its proportions and detailing prioritize elegance and presence, aiming for a polished, upmarket tone in modern layouts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tight interior details become a defining feature, especially in letters like E, F, S, and in the joins of the lowercase. The sample text shows strong word-shape and punchy emphasis, but the extreme contrast suggests it will be most comfortable in display settings or carefully printed environments.
