A high-contrast serif with flared, tapering terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems carry most of the weight while hairlines and joins stay sharp, producing a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Serifs are wedge-like and often softly bracketed into the stems, giving strokes a sculpted, swelling feel rather than purely geometric endings. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dense, with deliberate spacing that reads as display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and large-size editorial layouts where the high contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for branding, packaging, and high-end marketing materials that benefit from a refined, attention-grabbing serif.
The typeface projects an upscale, editorial voice with a sense of drama and refinement. Its sharp hairlines and swelling terminals add a theatrical, fashion-forward polish, while the traditional serif skeleton keeps it grounded and formal.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that blends classical proportions with pronounced contrast and flared terminals to create a distinctive, premium voice. Its forms prioritize impact and elegance, offering a recognizable texture for titles and brand-forward typography.
Capital forms show confident, poster-style presence, and the lowercase maintains the same high-contrast logic with distinctive, flared terminals on letters like a, c, e, and t. Numerals follow the same sculptural contrast, helping them hold their own in headlines and short callouts. In longer settings the dense color and thin internal strokes can feel intense, reinforcing its role as a statement face.
