This serif features sharply tapered strokes and wedge-like, flared endings that give stems a chiseled, sculptural feel. The contrast is pronounced, with thick verticals paired with hairline-like connections and delicately thinned joins, producing a crisp, poster-ready silhouette. Capitals are broad and stately with strongly shaped bowls and incisive apexes, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with small, pointed terminals and tightly controlled curves. Overall spacing reads deliberate and slightly tight in text, reinforcing a dense, impactful rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, covers, pull quotes, and branding where a strong, high-impact serif is desired. It will perform especially well in fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, and title treatments where the sharp tapers can read clearly at larger sizes.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, blending classic bookish authority with a modern fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp tapers and high-contrast sparkle feel ceremonial and premium, leaning toward dramatic headlines rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, attention-grabbing serif with flared, calligraphic stroke behavior—prioritizing expressive silhouettes and dramatic contrast for display typography.
Numbers and uppercase share a consistent engraved-like sharpness, with distinctive angled cuts and narrow interior counters that increase intensity at display sizes. In longer lines the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively texture that benefits from generous leading and careful tracking.
