A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings rather than flat slabs. The letterforms show strong vertical stress, hairline-thin horizontals and diagonals, and crisp, pointed details in joins and terminals. Capitals feel tall and stately with narrow apertures and pronounced modulation, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters and clean, upright posture. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, pairing bold vertical stems with delicate connecting strokes for a refined, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and other display settings where the dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for premium branding and packaging when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining a classic editorial sensibility with a distinctly modern, high-fashion sharpness. Its strong contrast and flared finishing strokes create a sense of luxury and ceremony, making text feel intentional and curated rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif voice: a contemporary editorial look built from classic high-contrast construction, enhanced by flared stroke endings for added sculpture and bite.
In the sample text, the extreme thin strokes and sharp terminals create striking texture at large sizes, while dense paragraphs read as richly patterned black-and-white rhythm. The design’s crisp hairlines and tight interior spaces suggest careful use of size and spacing to preserve clarity in longer passages.
