This typeface shows a sculpted serif construction with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often flare as they meet the stems. Bowls are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals are sharpened into pointed, triangular accents that give the outlines a cut-stone feel. The rhythm is slightly calligraphic in how thick strokes transition into hairline connections, and the overall spacing and proportions read as display-oriented, with tight internal counters in places and strong vertical presence. Numerals follow the same high-drama contrast and pointed finishing, maintaining a consistent, formal texture across the set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, brand marks, and packaging where the dramatic contrast and flared serifs can carry visual identity. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially when set large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, projecting refinement and a sense of ceremony. Its sharp, flared endings and glossy contrast give it a high-fashion, luxury feel, while the underlying serif tradition keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design intention appears to be a modern, high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like finishing that adds a contemporary edge to classic letterforms. It aims to deliver strong, memorable silhouettes and an upscale tone for display typography.
In the text sample, the lively contrast creates a sparkling page color at larger sizes, with distinctive silhouettes on letters like Q, S, g, and y thanks to the tapered, blade-like terminals. The design’s elegance comes with a more assertive texture than a quiet book face, making it most convincing when allowed generous size and breathing room.
