A high-contrast display serif with sculpted, flaring stems and sharp, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms combine broad, weighty verticals with thin hairline connections, producing a crisp, carved rhythm. Curves are generously rounded yet tightly controlled, with pronounced modulation that gives bowls and counters a polished, engraved feel. Proportions read as roomy and showy, with compact joins and decisive terminals that keep the silhouettes punchy at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size settings where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and poster titles that benefit from a bold, high-impact serif voice.
The font conveys an assertive, editorial elegance—dramatic and upscale without feeling playful. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast create a sense of authority and luxury, evoking magazine headlines and classic display typography with a modern crispness.
The design appears intended as a statement serif: to deliver strong presence and sophistication through extreme stroke contrast, flared stems, and sharp terminals, prioritizing visual character and headline performance over neutral text utility.
In the sample text, the heavy vertical emphasis and thin internal strokes create sparkling contrast, especially in letters like E, S, and e. The numerals appear similarly stylized, with strong vertical stress and fine hairlines that reinforce a premium display tone.
