A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like serifs that create a carved, calligraphic feel. Vertical strokes are strong and steady while hairlines snap to fine points, producing crisp internal counters and a lively black–white rhythm. Letterforms show moderate proportions and a slightly condensed impression in places, with elegant curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) and confident, angular joins that keep the texture energetic at display sizes. The numerals echo the same tension between thick stems and fine hairlines, with prominent triangular terminals and a distinctly drawn ‘7’ and ‘2’ that read as decorative yet structured.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-impact packaging. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes where its high-contrast details can be rendered cleanly and given enough size and spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, pairing classic editorial sophistication with a hint of sharpness and attitude. Its contrast and pointed detailing feel tailored for attention-grabbing headlines and brand moments where refinement and drama are both desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif with a chiseled, flared finish—balancing classical proportions with sharper terminals to create a distinctive, premium voice for contemporary display use.
In text settings the strong contrast and flared terminals create a pronounced sparkle, with tight-looking apertures in some lowercase forms and a distinctly stylized ‘g’ and ‘a’ that add personality. The rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing crisp edges and sculpted silhouettes over neutrality.
