A sculpted serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharply tapered, flared terminals that read as refined wedges rather than blunt slabs. The design relies on strong thick–thin modulation: weight concentrates in dominant verticals while hairlines and connecting strokes stay crisp and delicate, giving counters a chiselled, high-contrast sparkle. Serifs are compact and bracketed, often resolving into pointed beaks or angled spurs, and curves are tight and controlled, producing a stately, slightly condensed rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel monumental and classical, while the lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a sturdy bowl-and-stem construction and crisp, calligraphic finishing on joins and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and large-size editorial typography where its contrast and sculptural terminals can be appreciated. It also fits branding, book covers, and premium packaging that call for a classic-but-dramatic serif voice; for long passages, it will perform most comfortably with ample size and line spacing.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a polished, fashion-forward drama. Its sharp contrast and flared endings create a sense of luxury and authority, evoking magazine mastheads, cultural institutions, and premium packaging rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended to translate high-contrast, calligraphic serif principles into a bold display voice, using flared stroke endings and tight curves to add sparkle and sophistication. It prioritizes presence and refinement—creating a memorable, premium texture in titles and short text—while retaining conventional letterfit and familiar serif anatomy for legibility.
In the sample text, the strong contrast produces a vivid black-and-white shimmer that rewards generous sizes and careful spacing. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong presence, and the pointed terminals and beak-like details add a slightly expressive, incisive edge to otherwise classical proportions.
