A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply cut wedge-like serifs. Curves transition quickly from hairline joins into fuller bowls, giving letters a chiseled, calligraphic tension even in an upright posture. The capitals are broad and stately with prominent serifs and crisp beak-like details, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained counters and sturdy verticals that anchor the rhythm. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing fine entry strokes with weighty main forms for a distinctly engraved, display-forward texture.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and book-cover typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used with generous sizing and careful spacing.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and polish with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing strokes create a sense of luxury and tradition, suited to sophisticated, literary, or fashion-adjacent styling rather than utilitarian minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on traditional high-contrast serifs, combining engraved sharpness with flared, sculptural terminals to create a distinctive editorial voice. It prioritizes character and elegance over neutrality, aiming for memorable titles and refined typographic statements.
In text settings the dense black shapes and hairline connections create lively sparkle and pronounced figure/ground, especially in mixed-case. Spacing reads even at display sizes, but the dramatic thin strokes suggest it will feel most confident where there is enough resolution and size to preserve the fine details.
