This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, chiseled feel. Thick verticals pair with hairline joins and delicate entry strokes, creating a crisp rhythm that reads especially well at larger sizes. Capitals are broad and stately with clean, upright construction, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and subtly tapered strokes. Details like the ear and terminals on letters such as a, g, e, and s feel calligraphy-informed, with smooth curves transitioning into fine hairlines and pointed endings.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, and brand identities where its high-contrast structure can shine. It can also work for short, prominent text—pull quotes, titles, packaging fronts—where crisp detailing and a refined silhouette are priorities.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, combining classic bookish authority with a modern, high-drama polish. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings suggest luxury and ceremony, making the voice feel confident, elevated, and slightly theatrical without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary luxury serif expression: classic proportions and serif cues refined with flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast to create a striking, modern editorial presence.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine hairline connections that maintain a cohesive, premium texture. The type’s strong thick–thin interplay and pointed terminals create a sparkling page color in headlines, while the wider proportions keep it open and airy.
