A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes that expand into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. Curves are generously rounded and slightly tensioned, giving bowls and shoulders a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than slab-like, with wedge-like ends that emphasize the stroke modulation. Proportions lean broad in capitals and many lowercase forms, with sturdy verticals and lively diagonal joins that create a rhythmic, display-forward texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short passages where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine typography, fashion and cultural posters, and brand marks that need a classic yet striking serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-led, high-impact sheen. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast read as confident and luxurious, suited to settings where elegance and drama are desired.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, display-oriented serif voice built on calligraphic contrast and flared terminals, prioritizing elegance and impact over neutrality. Its broad shapes and crisp finishing suggest an aim toward high-end editorial and branding environments.
The design shows strong stroke-direction cues in letters like S, C, and a, and the numerals follow the same contrast and flared-terminal logic for a cohesive set. In larger sizes the fine hairlines add sparkle, while the heavy stems keep the letterforms anchored and assertive.
