A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems often swell into wedge-like endings, creating a carved, calligraphic feel rather than blunt serifs. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with sharp triangular details, tight apertures in places, and strong vertical emphasis; capitals feel stately and monumental while the lowercase stays sturdy and readable. Numerals follow the same display-oriented logic, with elegant curves, crisp joins, and high contrast that reads best at moderate to large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine decks, title treatments, and brand marks where its dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It works well for fashion, culture, and luxury-oriented layouts, and can be effective in posters or packaging when set with generous size and careful line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a sense of luxury and editorial polish. Its sharp, flared details add a slightly vintage, high-fashion character that feels confident and attention-grabbing without becoming overly ornamental.
Likely intended as a contemporary display serif that blends classical proportions with flared, chiseled stroke endings to create a premium, attention-forward voice. The design prioritizes strong silhouette and typographic color for impactful titles and identity work.
Spacing appears intentionally controlled to form dense, impactful text color in settings, and the contrast-driven hairlines can look delicate where strokes taper to points. The design leans toward display typography, but the sturdy main strokes help it hold up in short passages when given adequate size and breathing room.
