A sculptural display serif built around strong vertical stems and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Terminals and serifs resolve into sharp, wedge-like flares that feel cut and chiseled rather than bracketed, giving the outlines a crisp, faceted finish. Curves are taut and high-contrast, with tight apertures and pointed joins that create a lively, angular rhythm in letters like S, a, e, and s. Proportions lean compact and slightly condensed in the lowercase, while capitals keep a stately, upright stance with assertive stroke endings and a confident baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and title treatments where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury-leaning branding and packaging, and for book covers or posters that benefit from a refined but assertive voice.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, with a high-fashion editorial attitude. Its sharp flares and dramatic modulation read as premium and theatrical, leaning more towards sophisticated impact than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with a more stylized, flared finishing, producing a distinctive display face that feels both traditional and fashion-forward. Its consistent wedge terminals and high-contrast rhythm suggest a focus on impactful typography for prominent sizes.
The figures show strong personality, with distinct thick–thin transitions and crisp wedge terminals that keep numerals and capitals visually consistent. At larger sizes the detailing reads cleanly and intentional; in denser settings the tight counters and sharp joins will amplify its dramatic texture.
