A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, where many strokes finish in subtly flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt serifs. The overall stance is upright with broad proportions and a steady, formal rhythm, combining sharp triangular terminals with smoother bracketed joins. Curves are taut and controlled, counters tend to be compact, and details like the hairline cross-strokes and fine beaks add a distinctly calligraphic, cut-from-metal feel. Numerals and capitals carry a strong display presence, with clear thick–thin modulation and pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It also fits upscale editorial layouts, book and album covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that need a refined serif voice with pronounced stroke modulation.
The tone is polished and authoritative, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. It reads as classic and literary at a glance, but the flared endings and incisive hairlines add a contemporary sharpness that feels premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with expressive flared terminals, delivering a luxurious, high-impact text color for display typography. Its wide set and precise detailing suggest an emphasis on presence, elegance, and a distinctive editorial signature.
In longer lines the intense contrast and tight apertures create a vivid, sparkling texture that rewards generous sizes and comfortable leading. The design’s pointed terminals and narrow interior openings can look especially striking in headlines, where the flare and modulation are most legible.
