A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals that widen into sharp wedge-like ends. Vertical strokes dominate, while hairlines are extremely thin, producing a striking light–dark rhythm and crisp interior counters. Serifs and terminals often resolve into tapered points or triangular notches, giving the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel rather than flat slab endings. Proportions read broadly set with generous capitals, a moderate x-height, and lively width variation across glyphs; curves are smooth and full, with tight joins in places that create small ink-trap-like apertures.
Best suited for display work such as magazine headlines, posters, title treatments, and brand marks where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and identity systems that want a classic serif feel with more drama than a conventional text face.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—luxury-leaning, editorial, and slightly baroque. Its sharp flares and extreme contrast add drama and a sense of craft, evoking fashion headlines, high-end packaging, and classic display typography with a contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to fuse classic serif proportions with pronounced flaring and razor-thin hairlines, creating a distinctive, high-impact display voice. The consistent wedge terminals and sculpted joins suggest a focus on expressive silhouette and headline presence over plain, utilitarian neutrality.
In text settings, the hairlines and pointed terminals create sparkle and a strong vertical cadence, but the detailing can become busy at smaller sizes. The numerals share the same high-contrast, flared construction, keeping display compositions consistent across letters and figures.
