A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and finely pointed wedge-like terminals. Stems feel chiseled and slightly tapered, with sharp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a lively vertical rhythm. Serifs read as elegant, blade-like accents rather than slabs, and many joins and terminals show subtle calligraphic tension. Proportions are compact and tall, with a relatively tight, fashion-forward stance and clean, consistent contours across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, magazine layouts, and brand identities where contrast and sharp terminals can shine at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and refined packaging, especially when generous spacing and high-quality printing help preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classic bookish cues with a more dramatic, couture-like sharpness. Its crisp contrast and pointed terminals convey sophistication and authority, with a hint of theatrical flair suited to premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif voice: compact, elegant, and high-impact, with flared endings that add sculptural personality. It prioritizes visual sophistication and punch over neutrality, aiming for a premium editorial and branding feel.
Uppercase forms present strong, simplified silhouettes with confident verticals, while the lowercase adds softer curvature and a traditional reading texture. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and tapered finishing, giving dates and prices a refined, display-friendly presence.
