A high-contrast serif with narrow proportions and pronounced modulation between thick verticals and hairline joins. Strokes terminate in flared, wedge-like endings that read as sharpened serifs rather than flat slabs, giving letters a carved, calligraphic snap. Curves are taut and neatly controlled, with crisp apertures and pointed terminals in places, while vertical stress and compact counters keep the texture dense. Numerals and capitals appear particularly sleek and statuesque, creating a tight, rhythmic line in running text.
Best suited to display settings where its high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion branding, posters, and book covers. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers where a compact, sophisticated voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its sharp flares and strong contrast evoke a fashion-and-publishing sensibility—elegant, slightly theatrical, and distinctly formal.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classical, high-contrast serif lettering, using flared terminals to add a distinctive signature. It prioritizes elegance and impact in tight widths, making it well adapted to space-efficient, high-end display typography.
In text, the tight width and strong contrast produce a dark, high-definition color that emphasizes vertical rhythm. The flared stroke endings add personality and a sense of movement, helping headings feel bespoke while remaining clearly typographic.
