A high-contrast serif with narrow proportions and distinctly tapered stems that swell into subtly flared terminals. The serifs are sharp and bracketed with a restrained, chiseled feel, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tight apertures. Capitals are tall and dignified with strong vertical emphasis; the lowercase maintains a steady, moderately sized x-height and compact sidebearings that create a brisk rhythm in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrasty, sculpted logic, keeping strokes crisp and endings pointed rather than blunt.
Well suited to magazine headlines, deck text, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and posters that benefit from a narrow, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a fashion-editorial polish with a slightly dramatic, print-classical edge. Its sharp terminals and sculptural contrast add a sense of ceremony and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a refined, contrasty serif by combining narrow, vertical proportions with flared, tapered stroke endings for a sculpted silhouette. It balances classical serif cues with a fashion-forward sharpness to stand out in display typography.
The design’s flaring and tapering are most noticeable on vertical strokes and at stroke endings, giving many letters a subtly carved, ink-trap-free appearance. In running text the tight width and high contrast create a lively light–dark texture that favors display and short-form reading over long continuous passages at small sizes.
