A high-contrast serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into sharp wedge-like endings. The design combines elegant hairlines with assertive verticals, creating a rhythmic, calligraphic flow in both caps and lowercase. Serifs and terminals are crisp and tapered, with pointed joins and refined curves that keep counters open even at bold display sizes. Figures follow the same logic, mixing strong stems with delicate connecting strokes for a cohesive, polished texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where contrast and elegance are key. It performs well in larger sizes for posters, covers, and pull quotes, and can add a premium tone to packaging and logo wordmarks when given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its sharp transitions and flared endings read as fashion-forward and refined, balancing classical sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a refined display serif with dramatic contrast and distinctive flared terminals, prioritizing visual impact and elegance. The consistent stroke logic across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive, high-end editorial typography.
Capitals feel statuesque with generous curves (notably in C, O, Q) and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows lively movement in letters like a, g, y, and s through tapered entry/exit strokes. Spacing appears designed for display use, producing a confident, high-contrast color in headlines and short passages.
