A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and substantial main strokes, built around wedge-like, flared stroke endings rather than flat slabs. Serifs are triangular and often feel carved or chiseled, with pointed joins and occasional beak-like hooks on curves. Counters are compact and the rhythm is assertive, with crisp inner corners and a slightly calligraphic modulation that gives curves a sculpted, faceted look. Numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with strong vertical emphasis and dramatic stroke transitions.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, magazine titles, posters, and brand marks, where the sharp wedges and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when paired with generous spacing and a calmer companion text face.
The overall tone is glamorous and editorial, combining classical refinement with a bold, theatrical edge. Its sharp wedges and pronounced contrast evoke fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and high-impact headlines where a sense of drama and sophistication is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-leaning interpretation of a classical serif, using flared terminals and exaggerated contrast to create a strong, memorable silhouette. Its details prioritize character and impact over neutrality, aiming for a premium, attention-grabbing typographic voice.
In text settings the dark strokes can dominate, and the very thin connections and sharp terminals become key features of the texture. Several glyphs show distinctive, stylized details—like hooked or beaked terminals and tight apertures—that add personality but can increase visual intensity in longer passages.
