A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp triangular/bracketed serifs. Vertical stems are dominant and clean, while hairlines are very thin, giving the letters a carved, display-like clarity. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and controlled curves (C, G, O) that keep counters open and polished. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls (a, b, d, p) with narrow joins and tapered terminals, producing a lively rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, reading bold in mass but razor-fine in connecting strokes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine work, and book-cover typography where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also serve in premium branding and packaging when set at sizes large enough to preserve the hairline details. For longer text, it will perform most comfortably in spacious layouts with generous leading to avoid dense, high-contrast buildup.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a classic, print-forward seriousness. The sharp contrasts and flared finishing details add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, while the compact, punchy shapes keep it assertive on the page.
The design appears intended to evoke a contemporary take on high-contrast, classical serif typography, using flared endings and sharp modulation to create a luxurious, attention-grabbing voice. Its proportions and crisp terminals suggest an emphasis on display clarity and editorial presence rather than purely utilitarian reading texture.
Stroke contrast and terminal shaping are the dominant visual features: many joins pinch into hairlines, and several terminals end in wedge-like flares that read as both serif and subtle calligraphic taper. In text settings the weight distribution can create strong texture and sparkle, especially where thin horizontals and diagonals repeat.
