A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, shaped by flared, tapering stroke endings that read as modernized wedge-like serifs. The outlines feel sculptural and slightly calligraphic: joins and terminals often narrow to fine points, while bowls and vertical stems carry substantial mass. Proportions are generous and open, with broad capitals and round forms (O, Q) that emphasize strong black-and-white rhythm. Lowercase shows a fairly traditional structure with a two-storey a, compact ear on g, and a prominent, curved descender on y; the overall spacing and color are assertive and display-forward.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, premium branding, and striking poster titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or chapter openers where a strong typographic voice is desired.
The tone is confident and elegant, pairing classic editorial sophistication with a sharp, contemporary edge. The strong contrast and flared details create a sense of drama and luxury, while the upright posture keeps it composed and formal rather than whimsical.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges traditional high-contrast construction with flared, tapering terminals to heighten drama and refinement. Its broad proportions and sculpted forms prioritize presence and visual impact over neutrality, aiming for polished editorial and brand expression.
Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and the contrast transitions are abrupt enough to feel crisp at large sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with clear weight concentration on vertical strokes and fine, needle-like transitions in diagonals and terminals.
