A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, rounded bowls that pair with sharp apexes and pointed joins, creating a polished, chiseled rhythm. Capitals are broad and stately, while lowercase forms keep a controlled, upright posture with compact counters and a slightly carved-in feel at curves and terminals. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and elegant tapering, reading best when given room to breathe.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, and poster typography where contrast and personality are assets. It can also support premium brand identities and packaging when used at larger sizes or with generous spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication with a bold, theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and pronounced modulation suggest fashion, culture, and premium branding rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion serif voice with calligraphic energy and sculptural flare at stroke endings, balancing classical proportions with heightened contrast for impactful display typography.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and flared terminals create an active texture that becomes more graphic as size decreases, with darkened joins and hairlines contributing to a lively sparkle. The design feels intentionally display-leaning, with distinctive terminals and curves that give words a confident, attention-grabbing silhouette.
