A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and broad, sculpted stems that flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are crisp and angular, with a chiseled, calligraphic feel rather than blunt slabs, and the joins show pronounced modulation. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in impression, with strong vertical stress and delicate, needle-thin horizontals (notably in E/F/T). The lowercase mixes sturdy verticals with lively curves; bowls and shoulders are tightly controlled, and several letters show distinctive flared endings and sharp internal notches that heighten the dramatic contrast. Numerals follow the same model, combining thin, razor-like strokes with weighty curves and pointed terminals for a cohesive text-and-display rhythm.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where the high contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, classical voice with strong visual impact.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with fashion-forward drama. Its pronounced contrast and blade-like details give it a luxurious, high-end feel, while the flared stroke endings add a subtle, handcrafted elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif: dramatic contrast, sharp serifs, and flared stems that create a sculptural, premium look for display-led typography while remaining structured enough for short text settings.
At larger sizes the thin connections and hairlines read as a defining feature and add sparkle, while the heavier verticals anchor words strongly. The design’s sharp terminals and narrow counters create a crisp texture that can feel more formal than casual in continuous text.
