A sculpted serif with sharply tapered, flared terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The serifs read as wedge-like and often triangular, with crisp joins and a slightly calligraphic construction that gives strokes a carved, faceted feel. Capitals are elegant and formal with narrow apertures and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, angled entry/exit strokes, and distinctive triangular cuts in letters like a, s, and t. Numerals follow the same high-drama rhythm, mixing firm stems with pointed terminals and tight internal spaces.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large display settings where its flared serifs and dramatic modulation can read clearly. It works well for magazine/editorial design, fashion and luxury branding, posters, and premium packaging where a refined but commanding serif is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and luxurious, combining a classic editorial voice with a theatrical, high-impact presence. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast convey sophistication and a touch of fashion-forward intensity, making text feel curated and premium rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif through exaggerated contrast and flared, wedge-shaped terminals, creating a distinctive display voice that feels both traditional and sharpened for contemporary editorial and brand use.
In continuous text the strong contrast and small counters create a dense, inky texture, especially at larger headline sizes where the angular serifs and flared endings become the defining signature. The design’s sharpness and tapered details suggest it benefits from comfortable spacing and size choices to preserve clarity in tight settings.
