A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings rather than using blunt slabs. Letterforms show a strong vertical axis and crisp hairlines, with sharp apexes and finely tapered joins that give the outlines a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs are present but often resolve as elegant flares, producing a lively rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation across rounds and diagonals. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and clear, open counters; the numerals and capitals carry an especially stately, display-forward presence.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or book typography where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It can also support brand identities and packaging that aim for a premium, crafted impression, and works effectively for posters and titles where its sharp modulation and flared details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining classical bookish cues with a contemporary, high-fashion edge. The sharp hairlines and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making the voice feel premium and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings to create a refined display texture. Its strong contrast and sculptural terminals suggest an emphasis on elegance, impact, and a distinctive editorial signature.
In text settings the contrast and fine details remain visually striking, creating a bright, elegant texture with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines. The design favors larger sizes where the tapered terminals and delicate strokes can read cleanly, while still maintaining a consistent, confident silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
