A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced modulation and a distinctly flared, chiseled finish on many stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and triangular rather than bracketed, giving capitals a sculptural, engraved presence. Curves are taut and clean, with narrow hairlines and heavier verticals that create a bright, shimmering texture in text. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with moderate proportions and clear differentiation between round and straight strokes, while numerals match the same refined contrast and pointed terminals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where a refined, high-contrast serif can set an elevated tone. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially when generous spacing and leading are available.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining editorial polish with a slightly monumental, inscriptional feel. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as refined and upscale, with a confident, display-forward personality that still retains classical restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern luxury serif with an inscriptional edge—pairing classical letterforms with flared, sharpened terminals to increase visual drama and premium presence in display typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed serifs create a lively rhythm and emphasize word shapes, especially in all-caps settings. The forms stay controlled and upright, but the flaring at terminals adds a distinctive signature that feels more carved than written.
