This typeface shows a high-contrast serif construction with slender hairlines and stronger main strokes, paired with distinctly flared terminals that open out rather than ending in blunt slabs. The serifs and stroke endings feel calligraphically informed: many joins taper smoothly, and several letters finish with pointed, wedge-like forms that give the outlines a carved, blade-like crispness. Curves are generous and clean (notably in C, O, and S), while horizontals stay delicate, producing a bright, airy color in text despite the strong thick–thin rhythm. Overall proportions read as slightly expansive with ample counters, and the figures follow the same contrasty, sculpted logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits brand marks and premium packaging that benefit from a refined, fashion-forward serif voice, and works well for invitations or cultural communications needing a formal, elevated tone.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a poised, editorial character that feels at home in luxury and cultural contexts. The dramatic contrast and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, while the crisp detailing contributes a contemporary, runway-ready sharpness.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif elegance with a more sculptural, flared terminal language, creating a distinctive display face that signals refinement while remaining visually assertive. Its contrast and crisp finishing emphasize sophistication and hierarchy in larger sizes.
In the text sample, the hairline details remain prominent and the contrast creates a lively texture; the flared terminals add distinctive rhythm at word endings and in diagonals. The design’s sharp tips and fine strokes suggest it will look most confident when given enough size and breathing room so its delicate features can read clearly.
