A high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into sharp, triangular serifs. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to heavy verticals, producing a crisp, sculpted texture and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are compact and tightly drawn, and many joins show angled, calligraphic transitions rather than mechanical curves. The lowercase features a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” sturdy bowls, and short, robust serifs that keep shapes compact while maintaining a clear baseline rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short passages where dramatic contrast and sharp flaring details can be appreciated. It works well for editorial branding, fashion or cultural posters, and premium packaging-style typography that benefits from a dense, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, with a polished, editorial feel. Its sharp flares and dramatic contrast lend a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the dense, dark color reads as confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-fashion serif voice that combines classical proportions with pronounced flaring terminals for extra drama and impact. It prioritizes strong typographic color and sculpted detail for display-led settings.
At display sizes the thin hairlines and pointed terminals read as refined and precise, while the heavy stems create a distinctly dark typographic color. The numerals match the letterforms with strong contrast and sharp, tapered detailing, reinforcing the font’s stately, high-impact personality.
