A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered forms and pronounced flare at stroke endings. Thick vertical stems pair with hairline connections, producing a sharp, sculpted rhythm and a distinctly editorial silhouette. Serifs read as wedge-like and bracketed by flare rather than slabs, with several characters showing ball-like terminals and finely pointed beaks. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with clean, upright construction and a lively mix of sharp corners and rounded bowls.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-impact titles where the contrast and flared stroke endings can be appreciated. It can work well for luxury branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a formal, polished voice. For extended text, it will generally perform better at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, leaning toward fashion and magazine sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and gleaming hairlines give it a luxurious, formal character that reads as premium and attention-grabbing. The design also carries a classic, old-style echo, but with enough crispness to feel contemporary in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, high-drama serif voice by combining strong vertical stems, hairline connections, and flared terminals. It prioritizes striking shapes and refined detail over neutrality, aiming for memorable wordmarks and expressive editorial typography.
At smaller sizes the hairlines and delicate joins may visually recede, while larger settings emphasize the calligraphic modulation and flared endings. The numerals and capitals feel especially stately, with strong vertical emphasis and prominent tapering that creates a slightly theatrical presence in headlines.
