A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted stems that subtly flare into the terminals. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with a bracketing feel, and the curves show a distinctly calligraphic modulation that creates strong thick–thin rhythm. The overall texture is polished and punchy, with slightly narrow apertures and confident, sweeping joins that keep large sizes bold and graphic. Numerals and capitals read as display-oriented, with prominent vertical stress and elegant, pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand systems that benefit from strong contrast and elegant detail. It also works well for posters and premium packaging where large-size rendering can showcase its sharp terminals and flared finishing strokes.
The face projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone—confident, refined, and a bit theatrical. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add a sense of craft and luxury, evoking premium print typography and high-end branding.
Designed to deliver a contemporary, high-impact interpretation of a classic serif voice, emphasizing dramatic contrast, crisp terminals, and flared stroke endings for maximum presence in display settings.
In running text the contrast and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle, while the heavy main strokes maintain strong presence. The distinctive flare at stroke endings and the pronounced thick–thin transitions make it especially characterful in headlines, where its sculptural details remain clear.
