A sharply modulated serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sculpted, wedge-like terminals that flare into crisp endings. Stems feel chiseled and slightly tapered, with small bracketed joins that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic understructure while remaining firmly upright. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is assertive, with high-contrast hairlines in joins and cross-strokes (notably in E/F/T) and weight concentrated in verticals. Uppercase proportions are stately and compact, while lowercase forms show lively shaping—single-story a and g, a narrow, tapering f, and a flowing s with a strong diagonal stress—creating a distinct, editorial texture in text and display settings.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where its high contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It works particularly well for magazine/editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging, where a confident, high-impact serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and flared endings add a sense of luxury and ceremony, making lines feel curated and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif traditions with a more faceted, flared-terminal treatment for contemporary display use. It prioritizes striking texture and silhouette, aiming for a refined but bold presence in titles and prominent typography.
Spacing appears moderately tight, which intensifies color on the page and emphasizes the type’s graphic presence. Numerals echo the same sculptural contrast and flared finishing, reading as refined and display-oriented with strong silhouette distinction.
