A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs. Stems feel sturdy while hairlines stay razor-thin, producing sharp sparkle in counters and joins. Curves are generously rounded and slightly taut, with confident vertical stress and crisp transitions. The lowercase shows compact, weighty forms with prominent serifs and tapered joins, while capitals read monumental and poster-ready; figures follow the same contrasty, carved rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and statement branding where the high contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and poster applications that need a refined but attention-grabbing serif. For longer passages, it will perform best at larger text sizes and with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic serif formality with a bold, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and flared terminals create a sense of luxury and drama that feels at home in editorial and high-end branding contexts.
The font appears designed as a display serif that modernizes classical proportions through pronounced contrast and flared, sculptural terminals. Its forms prioritize impact and sophistication, aiming for a distinctive editorial voice rather than neutral text color.
The design relies on strong black shapes and fine internal cuts, so it benefits from ample size and careful spacing to preserve the thin details. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same sharp, chiseled personality, reinforcing a cohesive display voice.
