A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, tapered terminals. The rhythm alternates between hairline joins and substantial main strokes, producing a distinctly chiseled, calligraphic texture in both capitals and lowercase. Serifs read more like elegant flares than flat brackets, and many curves finish in pointed or beak-like tips (notably in letters such as C, S, a, and e). Capitals feel tall and stately with pronounced vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and tight, controlled aperture shapes; numerals follow the same contrast logic with crisp, elegant silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where its contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classical sophistication with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings give it a luxe, editorial presence that feels premium and intentional, with a slightly dramatic, high-style cadence.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on a high-contrast serif by emphasizing flared stroke endings and razor-thin hairlines. It aims to project sophistication and visual drama, prioritizing display clarity and a distinctive, sculpted texture on the page.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered terminals become a defining feature, creating sparkling detail and a strong black-and-white pattern. The design’s pointed curves and flared stems add a sense of motion and tension, while the consistent contrast and upright stance keep the page color disciplined in text settings.
