A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and crisp wedge-like endings that often replace conventional bracketed serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin to robust with a distinctly calligraphic modulation, giving letters a carved, display-forward presence. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow joins and sharp apexes; counters feel compact and controlled, producing a dense, elegant texture in text. The lowercase shows a traditional, slightly compact rhythm with a single-storey g and pointed, tapering details that emphasize the flared finish.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logo/wordmark work where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, beauty/fashion applications, packaging, and poster-style layouts, and can work for short editorial passages when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—confident, premium, and fashion-oriented. Its sharp hairlines and sculptural terminals suggest sophistication and a curated, boutique sensibility, with a hint of classic book typography translated into a more dramatic display voice.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a modern, high-fashion finish through exaggerated contrast and distinctive flared stroke endings. Its forms prioritize elegance, impact, and a recognizable silhouette for display-driven typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as delicate accents against strong main strokes, while at smaller sizes the dense contrast can make the texture feel dark and punchy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, flared logic, with crisp entry/exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin shifts that suit titling and prominent figure-setting.
