A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared construction: verticals read as strong, tapered wedges while horizontals and hairlines snap to thin, sharp connections. Serifs and terminals often resolve into pointed, triangular or blade-like forms, giving the outlines a faceted, cut-paper feel rather than soft bracketing. Counters are generous and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable stroke swelling and narrowing that creates a distinctly modulated texture in text. The uppercase is stately and compact, while the lowercase shows more personality through distinctive tails and angled joins, keeping the overall color dark but animated.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial blocks or captions when generous spacing and size are used to preserve clarity.
The tone is dramatic and cultivated, with a sense of luxury and performance that feels at home in high-end editorial settings. Its sharp flares and crisp contrast add tension and glamour, reading as confident, refined, and slightly baroque without becoming ornate.
The likely intent is to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif principles through flared, wedge-like terminals, producing a bold editorial voice that feels both traditional and fashion-forward. It prioritizes visual impact and typographic character over neutrality.
The design leans on pointed terminals and flaring stems to create sparkle at display sizes, while the dense weight and pronounced contrast can make long passages feel assertive. Numerals match the letterforms’ chiseled language, with similarly sharp transitions and strong vertical emphasis.
