A high-contrast serif with a distinctly sculpted, flared feel in its stroke endings. Vertical stems read as dark, steady columns while hairlines snap to very fine terminals, creating a crisp rhythm and bright internal counters. Serifs are bracketed and elegant rather than blocky, with pointed, tapered details on diagonals and joins that give many letters a carved, slightly calligraphic bite. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, and the overall texture alternates between sturdy uprights and delicate connecting strokes, yielding a lively, fashion-forward color in text and display.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short-to-medium editorial text where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can elevate branding and packaging—especially in beauty, fashion, culture, and premium goods—where a refined, high-impact serif voice is desired. For long, small-size body copy, it will typically perform best with generous size, leading, and high-quality reproduction to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward contemporary editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and confident verticals suggest luxury and authority, while the flared, sculptural endings add a crafted, boutique sensibility. Overall it feels poised, premium, and attention-seeking without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif voice with a sculpted, flared finish—combining classic serif structure with sharper, more contemporary detailing for impactful editorial and brand typography.
Uppercase forms present strong, formal silhouettes with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while lowercase keeps readability through open counters and clear entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegantly thin diagonals and more substantial verticals, helping them feel cohesive in mixed editorial settings.
