A sculptural serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, flared terminals that widen as strokes reach their endings. Serifs read as tapered wedges rather than slabs, giving letters a chiseled, display-forward finish. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is compact, with a strong vertical presence and assertive curves in round letters. Uppercase forms feel stately and geometric, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish structure with sturdy stems and neatly pinched joins.
Ideal for large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where the contrast and flared terminals can remain crisp. It also suits elegant packaging and event identities that benefit from a classical-yet-cutting serif presence, while extended text is best reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing classical letterform cues with a sharper, more contemporary tension. The high drama of the contrast and the pointed finishing details produce a confident, headline-ready voice that feels premium and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared terminals, emphasizing elegance and impact in display settings. Its forms prioritize dramatic silhouettes and a refined, print-editorial sensibility over neutrality.
The font’s contrast and flared endings create striking silhouette changes at small details—particularly in diagonals and curved joins—so it reads best when given room to breathe. Numerals share the same sharp, tapered finishing, reinforcing a consistent, fashion-magazine style across text and figures.
