A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems read sturdy and straight while curves are generously drawn, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm and pronounced stress. The letterforms show sharp, tapered terminals on strokes such as the arms and diagonals, with tight, elegant joins and a slightly compressed, headline-friendly stance. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence, with distinctive pointed details and clean, controlled counters that stay open at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and large-size typography where the contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It would perform well in magazine layouts, cultural posters, premium branding, and packaging where a classic yet contemporary serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, leaning toward classic sophistication rather than neutrality. Its sharp, cut-in details and pronounced contrast convey confidence and a premium, fashion-forward attitude, while the traditional serif construction keeps it grounded and formal.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif authority with a more sculptural, fashion-oriented sharpness. By pairing strong verticals and open counters with flared endings and pointed terminals, it aims for impactful display typography that feels refined rather than heavy.
Spacing appears balanced for display use, with consistent weight distribution across uppercase and lowercase that keeps words cohesive in the sample text. The design emphasizes crisp silhouettes and striking diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) alongside smooth, rounded bowls, producing a refined but attention-grabbing texture.
