A high-contrast serif with strongly flared stems and wedge-like terminals that create a carved, calligraphic silhouette. Strokes swell into pointed endings and narrow quickly into hairlines, producing crisp interior counters and a slightly angular rhythm. The uppercase reads sculptural and display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy build with distinctive triangular spur details and pronounced terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and flaring, with energetic curves and sharp joins that keep the overall texture lively and punchy.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or deck copy when set with comfortable spacing, but it is primarily a display face.
The tone is theatrical and editorial, mixing classical sophistication with a slightly edgy, contemporary bite. Its sharp terminals and swelling stems give it a confident, fashion-forward voice that feels curated rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-fashion display serif that blends traditional serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and rhythmic contrast for strong visual impact in titles and branding.
The design maintains a consistent flare logic across rounds and straight stems, creating a distinctive “pinched then fanned” stroke behavior. At larger sizes the pointed terminals and tight apertures add character; in dense settings the strong contrast can make the texture feel intentionally dramatic.
