A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition quickly from hairline-thin joins to dense vertical masses, giving letters a carved, chiseled feel. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm is punchy with strong black-and-white patterning. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a moderate x-height, while capitals read as stately and slightly condensed in their internal space due to the heavy verticals.
Best suited for headlines, magazine spreads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where high contrast can be a feature rather than a liability. It can also support premium branding and packaging—especially for beauty, fashion, spirits, or cultural institutions—when used at generous sizes with comfortable spacing.
The tone is formal and fashion-forward, balancing classic book-seriff cues with a more theatrical, display-led sharpness. It feels authoritative and polished, with a hint of vintage glamour from the exaggerated contrast and flared finishing.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, attention-grabbing take on a classic serif by exaggerating contrast and using flared, wedge-shaped endings for a refined but forceful presence. The intent appears focused on creating strong silhouette recognition and an elegant, high-impact page color for display typography.
In text, the heavy vertical stress and tight apertures create a dense texture that stays cohesive at large sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with especially weighty rounds and crisp, blade-like terminals that reinforce the font’s dramatic silhouette.
