This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel cut rather than bracketed. Stems run straight and clean, while hairlines taper quickly into sharp, triangular terminals, creating a crisp, faceted rhythm. The proportions are classic and slightly narrow-feeling in text due to the strong contrast and tight inner counters, with capitals that read formal and statuesque. Curves are smooth but finish with pointed details, giving the overall texture a polished, print-forward sparkle at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, and branded display typography where its contrast and flared finishing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury packaging, event materials, and posters that benefit from a refined, high-impact serif voice; for long passages, it will be most effective at comfortable print sizes or high-quality rendering.
The tone is sophisticated and dramatic, balancing classic bookish authority with a contemporary, fashion-led sharpness. Its bright hairlines and pointed terminals add tension and luxury, making the page feel curated and high-end rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif with flared, chiseled terminals—evoking classical engraving and fashion typography—optimized for striking display presence while remaining structured and upright for confident, formal composition.
In running text the extreme contrast produces a lively, shimmering texture, and the sharper terminals can become visually prominent as sizes get smaller or on lower-resolution output. The numerals share the same crisp contrast and tapered finishing, supporting use in headlines and pull-quote style settings where clarity and style both matter.
