A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stems and razor-thin hairlines that taper into pointed, wedge-like endings. The letterforms show a distinctly calligraphic stress, with rounded bowls and sharply tightened joins that create a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs read more as delicate, blade-like terminals than bracketed slabs, and many strokes widen subtly as they approach their ends, giving the silhouettes a carved, chiselled feel. Proportions skew broad and open, with sturdy capitals and a compact, readable lowercase that keeps counters clear even at display sizes.
This face is best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, branding wordmarks, and poster titles where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers paired with a calmer text companion.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic, combining elegance with a slightly sharp, couture edge. Its contrast and crisp terminals evoke fashion and editorial typography, while the flared shaping adds a sense of crafted sophistication rather than purely mechanical precision.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary display serif that blends classical high-contrast construction with flared, sculptural stroke endings. Its wide stance and precise tapering suggest a focus on impactful, stylish typography for high-visibility settings.
In the samples, round letters (like O/C/e) show pronounced thinning at the sides and heavier vertical emphasis, and several lowercase forms include distinctive terminal flicks and teardrop-like finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with stylized curves and fine entry/exit strokes that suit titling and short runs more than dense text settings.
