A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdy, swelling main strokes that flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs read as pointed, bracketless or minimally bracketed, giving the forms a crisp, chiseled finish rather than a soft transition. The capitals are stately and wide-set with pronounced thick–thin modulation; bowls and curves are smooth and controlled, while joins stay tight and clean. Lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with relatively small apertures and a sculpted, calligraphic stress; the numerals mirror the same sharp hairlines and flared endings for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and brand marks where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It will also work well for upscale packaging, invitations, and poster titling that benefits from a refined, classical voice.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a fashion/editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and flaring terminals create a sense of ceremony and authority, while the refined contrast lends a premium, boutique feel.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared finishing, prioritizing elegance and high-impact contrast in display settings. It aims to deliver a premium editorial texture with distinctive, wedge-shaped terminals that differentiate it from more conventional modern serifs.
Stroke endings often resolve into knife-like wedges, producing strong sparkle at display sizes. The set feels designed for impact: thin horizontals and diagonals intensify the contrast, and the flared terminals give an engraved, monumental character without becoming slab-like.
