A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals. Vertical stems are strong and straight while joins and curves thin sharply, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm across both caps and lowercase. The forms lean toward wide, open bowls (C, G, O) and show notable stroke modulation in diagonals and arms, with clean, sharp apexes in letters like A and V. Lowercase has a measured, text-friendly x-height with compact ascenders and descenders that keep lines tidy, while details such as the single-storey g, the angled terminals, and the bracket-like flare at stem ends reinforce a contemporary interpretation of classic serif construction. Numerals follow the same contrast logic with prominent thick–thin transitions and elegant, tapered ends.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and magazine-style editorial settings where high contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits luxury-leaning branding and packaging, especially when paired with generous spacing and clean layouts. For longer passages, it will perform best in larger text sizes and high-quality printing or high-resolution screens where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that evokes editorial typography and luxury branding. Its flared detailing and sharp terminals add a slightly theatrical, display-forward character while still feeling controlled and literate. The result is a confident, sophisticated voice that suggests craft, heritage, and modern refinement at once.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-oriented serif with calligraphic flaring rather than blunt slab endings, combining classic proportions with more stylized terminals. It prioritizes contrast-driven elegance and a distinctive silhouette for display use, while maintaining enough structural discipline to work in short-to-medium text settings.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and crisp terminals produce a bright, rhythmic texture, and the flare at stroke endings helps distinguish letters without relying on heavy serifs. The italics are not shown; all samples appear upright. The design’s contrast and pointed details become more prominent at larger sizes, where the sculpted terminals and thin hairlines read as intentional styling rather than purely functional text color.
