A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and crisp, sculpted detailing. Stems are sturdy but taper quickly into hairline joins and sharp, triangular flares, giving many terminals a chiseled, wedge-like finish. Serifs are bracketed yet assertive, with a mix of fine hairline connections and heavier curved strokes that create a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Counters are generally open, curves are smooth and polished, and the overall texture alternates between bold dark strokes and delicate, needle-thin transitions.
This font excels in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large editorial settings where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also suits brand marks, luxury packaging, and event or poster typography that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif voice. For long passages, it works best at comfortable print sizes with generous spacing to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The tone is formal and editorial, combining classical sophistication with a touch of theatrical drama. Its sharp flares and gleaming contrast read as luxe and attention-grabbing, suggesting fashion, culture, and premium branding rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif by amplifying contrast and using flared, wedge-like terminals for a distinctive silhouette. It aims for an upscale, display-forward presence while retaining familiar serif proportions for readable, polished typography.
Capitals feel stately and display-leaning, with prominent contrast and pronounced finishing strokes, while the lowercase maintains a readable, bookish structure with stylish quirks in terminals and joins. Numerals match the same contrast and flare vocabulary, keeping the set cohesive in mixed typographic compositions.
