A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation, with fine hairlines and sturdy verticals that create an elegant, lively rhythm. Capitals are proportioned for display clarity, while the lowercase carries a more calligraphic feel through tapered joins and carefully bracketed serifs. Numerals follow the same contrast and finish, reading cleanly with sharp, polished endpoints.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper display typography, luxury branding, and packaging where high contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It should excel in headlines, subheads, and short-form text such as decks or captions at comfortable sizes, and can add a polished, literary tone to identity systems.
The overall tone feels upscale and editorial, balancing classical bookishness with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp detailing and refined contrast suggest formality and craft, making it feel confident and premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical high-contrast serif: elegant proportions, assertive thick–thin modulation, and distinctive flared terminals that read as crafted and premium. It aims to provide strong headline presence while preserving a disciplined, editorial text rhythm.
In text, the fine hairlines and pointed terminals create a crisp texture and pronounced sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The design’s flared finishing and narrow hairline connections add character to headings and pull quotes while maintaining an orderly, upright posture.
