A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp wedge-like serifs. Thick verticals dominate while hairline horizontals and joins create a sharp, chiselled rhythm, with noticeable modulation through curves and diagonals. The proportions run wide with generous counters and a steady, upright stance; many joins taper into pointed beaks, and several forms show teardrop/ball finishing details in the lower-case. Overall spacing reads open and display-oriented, with a polished, slightly calligraphic edge to the stroke transitions.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where the fine hairlines and flared endings can stay crisp. It can also work for premium branding, packaging, and campaign posters that benefit from an elegant, high-impact serif voice; for longer passages it will generally prefer larger sizes and comfortable leading.
The tone is poised and theatrical—equal parts elegant and assertive. Its glossy contrast and sharpened terminals evoke fashion, magazine headlines, and luxury branding, while the flared detailing adds a classical, engraved feel rather than a purely modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif presence with classical cues, using extreme contrast and flared terminals to create a distinctive silhouette. It prioritizes striking word shapes and refined detail over neutral text anonymity, aiming for premium, editorial-driven typography.
Uppercase forms look especially monumental and stable, with strong vertical emphasis and carefully carved hairlines. The lowercase keeps a traditional serif texture but introduces distinctive terminal shapes and tapered joins that add personality at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast and flared logic, reading bold and formal in running text.
