A high-contrast serif with crisp, sculpted forms and a distinctly flared finish on many strokes. Vertical stems read sturdy and straight while joins and terminals taper into sharp, blade-like wedges, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are compact and often triangular or bracketed, with pointed, calligraphic-looking endings rather than flat slabs. Counters are generally generous and round, and the overall texture alternates between weighty stems and hairline connections, giving the face a polished, display-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for luxury branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif voice. For long passages, it will generally perform better with comfortable sizing and spacing to prevent the hairlines and pointed details from feeling busy.
The tone is poised and formal, with a dramatic, fashion-minded edge. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the flared details add a slightly bespoke, crafted feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic display serif: sharp, high-contrast letterforms with flared, chiseled terminals that create an upscale, editorial look. The emphasis is on elegance and impact, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a polished page presence.
In the sample text, the face builds strong vertical emphasis and distinct word shapes at larger sizes. The italics are not shown; the roman relies on tapering terminals and contrast for movement rather than slant or swashiness. Numerals and capitals feel especially statement-making, with pointed details that can become visually prominent in dense settings.
