A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, tapering hairlines. Stems terminate in subtly flared, sculpted endings that read as softened wedge/bracketed serifs rather than blunt slabs, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic finish. Uppercase proportions feel stately with sharp apexes and deep, elegant curves, while the lowercase shows a tall, prominent x-height and compact counters that keep text color dense and authoritative. Numerals and capitals carry pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a rhythmic, fashion-editorial texture in display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It should excel in short-form display settings such as posters, invitations, packaging, and premium editorial layouts, especially where a confident, elegant voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp joins, glossy contrast, and sculpted terminals suggest luxury, refinement, and an editorial sensibility more than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative silhouettes, refined hairlines, and flared finishing strokes that heighten sophistication and visual drama. It prioritizes impact and elegance in display and editorial contexts while keeping lowercase proportions generous for readable large text.
The lowercase ‘a’ is single-storey and the ‘g’ is double-storey, adding a contemporary twist within an otherwise classic high-contrast structure. Curved letters (C, S, G, e) emphasize tension between thick main strokes and delicate hairlines, creating a lively sparkle that is most apparent at larger sizes.
