A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, tapered joins. Vertical stems feel sturdy while hairlines are extremely fine, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm and bright interior counters. Serifs and terminals read as wedge-like and slightly curved rather than bracketed slabs, giving many letters a subtly chiseled, almost calligraphic finish. Proportions are classical with a steady x-height and relatively compact, polished lowercase; the figures follow the same contrast logic, with slender diagonals and sharply defined curves.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, posters, and packaging where high contrast can read as intentional and premium. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with adequate size and line spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing classic bookish structure with a fashion-forward, high-drama contrast. Its flared endings add a sense of poise and ceremony, while the clean, upright stance keeps it contemporary and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-end voice by pairing classical serif construction with flared, sculptural terminals and extreme contrast. The goal is visual impact and elegance, prioritizing a distinctive headline texture over utilitarian neutrality.
In text, the intense contrast and thin hairlines create a striking texture that benefits from generous size and comfortable spacing. Curved letters like C, G, S, and the bowls in a, e, and g show carefully controlled swelling into terminals, reinforcing the flared, carved impression throughout.
