A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, flaring terminals that give strokes a carved, chiseled finish. Counters are generally compact and the joins feel tense and controlled, with sharp apexes and tapered cross-strokes that create a strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-seriffed structure with a single-storey a and g, and rounded forms that are tightened by pointed terminals and narrow apertures. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing full, weighty bowls with thin hairline connections for a crisp, editorial texture.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits upscale branding, magazine mastheads, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a polished, dramatic serif presence; for extended text it will be most effective at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and high-impact, combining classic bookish cues with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings read as refined and premium, suited to messaging that wants authority and polish. The feel is more theatrical than neutral, with a distinctly stylized, boutique quality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with flared, wedge-like endings—bridging traditional editorial typography and modern luxury branding. It emphasizes striking silhouettes and refined detail to create strong hierarchy and visual drama.
In longer settings the hairlines and tight apertures create a lively sparkle, while the bold main strokes keep paragraphs visually anchored. The flared terminals and pointed details give the letterforms a distinctive silhouette, especially in caps and in the diagonal-heavy shapes.
