This serif features sculpted, flared terminals and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a crisp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than slab-like, with a chiseled feel at joins and terminals that reads as intentionally cut and graphic. Proportions are fairly classical with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and sturdy verticals, while curves transition quickly into thin hairlines for a distinctly high-contrast silhouette. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence and the overall color on the page is dark, with generous internal counters keeping forms from clogging at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, branding wordmarks, and high-impact poster work. It can also serve for short pull quotes or section openers where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated without the density of long passages.
The tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with a runway/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast convey confidence and formality, giving headlines a premium, intentional voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif structure with heightened contrast and flared finishing to add drama and sophistication in display settings. The overall intention reads as premium and attention-forward, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and rhythm over neutrality.
The design’s character comes from the flared shaping at stroke endings and the crisp, knife-like hairlines, which create lively sparkle in text samples. Curved letters show tightly controlled modulation, producing a slightly engraved, poster-like finish that stands out in large settings.
