A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and sharp, triangular serifs that read as wedge-like cuts. The design mixes broad, weighty verticals with hairline joins and tapered curves, creating a crisp rhythm and strong black–white sparkle in text. Counters are relatively compact, and many joins and terminals show knife-edge shaping that adds snap and definition, especially in the diagonals and curved letters. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, display-forward presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, readable structure with distinctive tapered terminals.
This face is best used for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and silhouette can do the work. It can also support branding and packaging that wants a classic yet assertive voice, and it performs well in larger sizes where the sharp terminals and tapered details stay clear.
The tone feels formal and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion sheen. Its sharp serifs and flared strokes evoke classic print typography—confident, slightly theatrical, and well-suited to refined, attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared finishing for impact. It aims to balance traditional letterforms with striking, sculptural terminals that give text a polished, display-ready presence.
In the sample text, the font creates a dense, authoritative texture with noticeable contrast-driven shimmer; punctuation and dots appear bold and emphatic. The overall impression is precise and sculpted rather than soft, with consistent wedge-like finishing across the set.
