A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as sharp, ink-trap-free wedges rather than slabs. Curves are crisp and taut, with pointed joins and neatly cut terminals that give counters a sculpted, glossy feel. Capitals appear tall and poised with confident vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate, readable x-height and relatively narrow apertures in letters like a, e, and s. Numerals follow the same display-oriented logic, with elegant hairlines, strong main strokes, and distinctive, stylized curves.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, and brand identities where a refined, high-fashion voice is desired. It can work for short passages and pull quotes when set generously, and it’s especially effective for cover lines, event posters, and luxury or cultural branding.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic print sophistication. Its sharp contrasts and knife-like terminals add a sense of precision and theatricality, making it feel premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast editorial serif with flared, sharpened terminals—balancing classical proportions with a more stylized, modern cut. The goal seems to be strong visual presence and elegance in display settings while retaining enough structure to handle selective text use.
In continuous text, the contrast and crisp terminals create a lively rhythm with strong word shapes, but the finest hairlines and tight interior spaces suggest it will look best with comfortable sizes and spacing. The design’s flared endings and pointed details give it a distinct signature that stands out quickly in headings.
