A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharply cut terminals. The design alternates thick verticals with hairline joins, creating a crisp, chiseled rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Serifs are wedge-like and often integrated into the stroke expansion rather than appearing as flat slabs, with subtle bracketing and smooth curvature in round letters. Apertures are moderately closed and counters are compact, while the overall drawing favors strong vertical emphasis and carefully shaped diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short paragraphs in editorial layouts, where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is formal and theatrical, pairing classic serif authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its pronounced contrast and carved terminals give it a luxurious, editorial feel that reads as premium and intentional rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to merge traditional serif structure with flared, calligraphic stroke logic, aiming for a distinctive display face that feels both classic and contemporary. Its detailing prioritizes visual drama and elegance over quiet text neutrality.
In text settings the intense contrast produces a striking sparkle, especially where hairlines connect into heavier strokes. The numeral set matches the uppercase in weight and presence, and the overall texture is bold and assertive, favoring display sizes where the fine strokes can breathe.
