A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and bracketed joins that give stems a subtly swelling, carved look. The design pairs sharp, hairline horizontals with fuller verticals, producing a crisp rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows compact counters, a moderate x-height, and lively, angled entry/exit strokes that read as gently calligraphic rather than geometric. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with elegant curves and fine internal joins that keep the color bright at text sizes and striking in display settings.
Well suited to magazine typography, luxury branding, and packaging where crisp contrast and refined detail are assets. It also works for book covers and section heads, and can hold up in short-to-medium text blocks where you want an elevated, literary tone without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a fashion-forward sophistication. Its sharp contrast and flared stroke endings add drama and a sense of heritage, evoking printed-book refinement while still feeling contemporary and intentional.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classic serif proportions with expressive, flared finishing, aiming for a premium voice that feels both traditional and fashion-conscious. The consistent contrast and careful bracketing suggest an intention to perform as a versatile editorial face: dramatic in display, composed in text.
The flare at terminals and the pronounced bracketing soften the extremes of contrast, helping strokes transition smoothly into serifs and terminals instead of ending abruptly. Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting dense paragraph settings without losing the characteristic sparkle of the hairlines.
