A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often flare out from the stems. The letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic in their stress, with smooth curves, tight joins, and pointed terminals that give edges a refined snap. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while the lowercase maintains a traditional serif structure with a moderate x-height and sturdy verticals; counters stay open despite the heavy dark strokes. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and tapered finishing, producing a cohesive, stately texture in text.
This face is well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared finishing can read as intentional drama. It fits editorial and magazine design, luxury branding, event promotions, and poster work that benefits from a classic-but-bold serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and high-impact, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, display-ready sheen. Its sharp serifs and theatrical contrast create a sense of luxury and formality, suited to headlines that need gravitas and polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a high-contrast serif: authoritative and traditional in structure, but energized by flared stroke endings and sharp, elegant detailing for strong display presence.
In paragraph settings it produces a dense, rhythmic pattern with strong vertical emphasis; the contrast and flared endings add sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The design’s pointed details and narrow hairlines suggest it will look best when given enough size and printing/rendering fidelity to preserve the thin strokes.
