A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp wedge-like terminals that read as refined rather than chunky. Vertical stems are robust and straight, while joins and curves show noticeable modulation and bracketing that softens transitions into the serifs. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is tight, producing a dense, punchy texture in text. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, while lowercase forms maintain a traditional structure with crisp details and pronounced, tapered terminals.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short-form editorial text when set with generous leading and careful spacing, but its dense texture and crisp details favor display and premium packaging or campaign typography.
The tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classical book-serifs with a more fashion-forward, display-driven sharpness. Its strong contrast and pointed terminals create a sense of luxury and intention, making the voice feel confident, editorial, and slightly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif voice: strong vertical presence, elegant contrast, and distinctive flared terminals that add character without becoming ornamental. It aims to provide a high-impact typographic color for editorial and branding contexts where sophistication and drama are desirable.
In the grid, many glyphs show a consistent language of knife-edged terminals and subtly flared ends, which helps unify the alphabet despite varied widths. The numerals carry the same sculpted contrast and sharp finishing, supporting headline settings where numbers need to feel as designed as the letters.
