A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Vertical stems read strong and stable while hairlines thin down sharply, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are often beaked or triangular, with angled joins and pointed corners that give letters a carved, faceted feel. Counters are relatively compact in the lowercase, and the overall silhouette stays clean and upright with a slightly classical, display-forward posture.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for posters, pull quotes, and elegant packaging, especially when set with generous spacing and used at display sizes.
The tone is formal and attention-grabbing, combining old-style refinement with a theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast project luxury and authority, lending a polished, editorial mood rather than a casual or friendly one.
This design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-fashion serif voice with pronounced contrast and distinctive flared terminals. The emphasis on crisp wedges and sculpted curves suggests a display-oriented interpretation of classical serif principles aimed at strong visual impact.
The numerals show the same high-contrast logic and sharp finishing, with curved figures (notably 8 and 9) emphasizing the font’s sculpted modulation. In text, the strong verticals and thin connecting strokes create a lively shimmer, especially at larger sizes.
