A high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings and sharp, tapering terminals that give the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel. The design leans on strong vertical stress with hairline-thin joins and thickened stems, creating lively rhythm and bright internal counters. Serifs and terminals often resolve into pointed wedges rather than blunt brackets, and curves are drawn with taut tension for a crisp, polished silhouette. Proportions feel traditional but slightly stylized, with noticeably varied widths across characters that adds a dynamic, display-forward texture in setting.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that want a premium, high-style serif voice. It can also excel in posters, packaging, and pull quotes where the sharp terminals and contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. For longer text, it will be most comfortable in larger point sizes and in high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic bookish cues with a modern fashion sensibility. Its pronounced contrast and knife-like details read as confident and luxurious, lending a sense of sophistication and drama to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif by emphasizing flared endings and incisive terminals. Its goal seems to be strong visual presence and a refined, boutique-like character while maintaining familiar serif proportions for readability in display contexts.
The strong contrast and fine hairlines make spacing and size important: the face looks best when given room to breathe and when printing or rendering conditions can preserve thin details. Numerals and capitals carry the same flared, wedge-terminal vocabulary, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
