A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered joins and distinct flared stroke endings that give verticals a subtly expanding, chiseled finish. The letterforms show refined, calligraphic stress with thin hairlines and weighty main strokes, producing a strong black–white rhythm in text. Serifs are sharp and bracketed-to-flared in feel rather than slabby, with pointed apexes on A and V/W, and a sculpted, slightly swelling profile through stems and curves. Proportions read on the broader side with open counters, a moderate x-height, and lining numerals that carry the same contrast and serif detailing.
Best suited for display-driven work such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and book or album covers where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding applications—wordmarks, invitations, and packaging—when set with generous spacing and used at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a theatrical elegance that feels at home in luxury and editorial contexts. The dramatic contrast and flared finishing add a sense of ceremony and tradition, while the clean upright stance keeps it composed and contemporary enough for modern layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end serif voice with added character from flared stroke endings, balancing traditional letterform construction with a more sculptural, fashion-forward finish for impactful typography.
In the sample text, the dense contrast creates a lively texture where hairlines sparkle against heavier strokes, especially around rounded forms like O/Q and in diagonals. The numerals are bold and sculptural, and the punctuation and capitals hold a strong presence at larger sizes.
