A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared stroke treatment that widens into pointed terminals and wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a strong vertical axis and crisp joins, with thin hairlines and broad main strokes creating a bright, rhythmic texture. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase has compact, controlled shapes and tapered entry/exit strokes that give a cut-from-stone precision. Numerals match the same contrast and sharp terminal language, maintaining a consistent, formal tone across the set.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine display typography, and luxury-leaning branding where sharp contrast and refined detail are desired. It also works effectively on posters, book covers, and pull quotes that benefit from a dramatic, high-end voice.
The overall tone is classic and upscale, with a dramatic, fashion-forward polish. Its sharp flares and high contrast suggest ceremony and authority, reading as poised and intentional rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a display-oriented serif that modernizes classical proportions with flared, pointed terminals for extra sharpness and distinction. Its consistent contrast and sculptural endings aim to deliver an elegant, attention-getting texture in prominent settings.
The pointed terminals and flared endings create distinctive silhouettes that stand out in headlines, especially in capitals. In text, the bright hairlines and sharp detailing contribute to a lively, sparkling color, but also make the design feel best suited to sizes where those details can breathe.
