A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals that swell into subtly flared terminals. Serifs read as wedge-like and sculpted rather than bracketed slabs, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Capitals are tall and assertive with narrow proportions and crisp apexes, while lowercase forms stay compact with a steady x-height and lively curves. Overall spacing and rhythm feel slightly condensed, with bright counters and pronounced thick–thin transitions that stay consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and fashion or culture editorial layouts where contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or well-rendered screens, but it will be most reliable when given enough size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines and flared terminals.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical sophistication with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its flared endings and sharp joins add a decorative snap that feels premium and fashion-forward without becoming ornate. The impression is confident, formal, and slightly dramatic—suited to statements and headlines.
The design appears intended to translate a calligraphic, carved-stone sensibility into a modern, high-contrast serif for impactful typography. By combining narrow proportions with flared stroke endings, it aims to deliver a distinctive, upscale voice that stands out in titles and branding while maintaining recognizable, classical letterform structure.
Round letters like O/C and numerals show strong vertical stress, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are drawn with taut, knife-like joins. The figures follow the same contrast logic, with distinctive curves and tapered terminals that keep them visually aligned with the text. At smaller sizes the thin hairlines may demand sufficient resolution or ink control to retain clarity.
