A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty verticals that expand into subtly flared terminals. Serifs read as sculpted and slightly bracketed, giving joins a smooth, carved transition rather than abrupt slab endings. Capitals are stately and wide-set with prominent stroke modulation, while lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm and a clear, moderate x-height; apertures and counters stay open despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same display-oriented modulation, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that emphasize a calligraphic, engraved feel.
This face is well suited for magazine headlines, cultural/editorial layouts, and brand identities that need a premium, classic voice. It can perform strongly in short-to-medium text blocks at comfortable sizes where the hairlines remain supported, and it shines in display applications such as posters, invitations, and packaging where its contrast and sculpted serifs are most visible.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-led sense of drama. Its crisp hairlines and flared endings create a luxurious, high-end impression suited to refined typography rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif construction with flared, chiseled terminals that add a distinctive signature. It aims to deliver elegance and impact in display typography while preserving a familiar, readable serif structure.
Stroke contrast is most pronounced in rounded forms, where thin connecting hairlines heighten the sense of delicacy. The design relies on clean silhouettes and controlled curves, producing a composed texture in words while still delivering strong sparkle at larger sizes.
