A high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at terminals and tightly pinched joins that create a sculpted, ink-trap-like feel in places. Stems are heavy and vertical, while hairlines are extremely thin, producing crisp interior apertures and sharp, wedge-like finishing strokes. Serifs appear bracketed and often taper into pointed or beak-like ends, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that shows up strongly in S, a, e, and g. The overall set reads as display-forward, with compact counters, energetic diagonals, and a distinctive mix of angular and curved forms that gives the alphabet a lively rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, editorial display, and brand moments where a bold typographic voice is desired—magazine covers, posters, luxury or beauty branding, and statement packaging. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but its extreme contrast and dense texture are most effective when given room and set at larger sizes.
The font projects a confident, high-fashion tone with a touch of vintage drama. Its sharp contrasts and flared endings add theatricality and a sense of refinement, making text feel intentional and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more expressive, flared-terminal treatment, maximizing contrast and sharpness for strong on-page presence. It aims for an elevated, fashion/editorial character while keeping forms crisp and highly stylized for display impact.
In the text sample, spacing and word shapes feel dense and impactful, with strong dark color on the page. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and appear designed to hold their own at headline sizes, while the more delicate hairlines suggest careful size choice for longer passages.
