A high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharply cut serifs. Thick verticals are paired with hairline joins and cross-strokes, creating a crisp, sculpted texture with strong light–dark rhythm. The capitals are broad and commanding, with pointed apexes and tapered strokes, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic movement—especially in letters like a, e, g, and y—where curves swell and then pinch into fine connections. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing stout main strokes with delicate, razor-thin details for a refined, display-forward color on the page.
This font is best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and book editorial design, luxury branding, packaging, and statement posters where a classic-yet-sharp serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion/editorial sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and knife-edge detailing give it a premium, high-drama feel that reads as confident and formal rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary high-contrast serif with flared, calligraphy-influenced endings—prioritizing drama, refinement, and strong typographic presence in display sizes while maintaining a coherent text rhythm for larger settings.
In text settings the stroke contrast and tapered joins create a lively sparkle, with thin horizontals and interior counters becoming visually prominent. Spacing feels intentionally open around many glyphs, helping the dense black strokes breathe while keeping a punchy headline presence.
