A high-contrast display serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Vertical stems are firm and dark while hairlines and connecting strokes thin sharply, creating crisp internal white space and a lively rhythm. Serifs are generally bracketed and taper into pointed corners rather than flat slabs, and many joins show a subtle swelling that reinforces the flared construction. Proportions are slightly condensed in feel with compact counters and a strong baseline presence; the uppercase has stately width with tight apertures in letters like C and S, while the lowercase maintains a clear, traditional structure with prominent ascenders and controlled bowls.
Best suited for headlines, cover lines, and pull quotes where its sharp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It would also work well for premium branding, logotypes, and packaging that aims for a refined, editorial voice. For longer text, it’s most effective in larger settings with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, with a polished, high-fashion drama. It reads as classic and prestigious, suited to settings where contrast and sharp detail communicate refinement and authority rather than casual friendliness.
This design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared terminal treatment, prioritizing elegance and visual impact. The strong thick–thin rhythm and tapered details suggest a focus on display typography that conveys luxury and authority.
The numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with especially striking curved forms (notably 2, 3, and 8) and a sturdy 1 and 7. At larger sizes the pointed terminals and thin hairlines add sparkle; at smaller sizes those details may require generous spacing and careful reproduction to avoid losing the finest strokes.
