A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Stems feel carved and slightly swelling into the serifs, while hairlines stay thin and crisp, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Proportions are stately and somewhat condensed in places, with compact counters and a steady vertical stress; joins and curves are clean and controlled, giving the letterforms a polished, print-forward finish.
Best suited to display typography—magazine headlines, lookbooks, brand marks, premium packaging, and poster titles—where its contrast and flared finishing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when ample spacing and high-quality rendering are available.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a dramatic, couture-like refinement. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as premium and formal, leaning toward classic editorial sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic serif: theatrical contrast paired with flared, tapering endings to create a sense of crafted luxury and strong typographic presence.
Round letters (like O/C) show tight, glossy hairlines against heavy verticals, and diagonals (V/W/X) maintain crisp, pointed endings that heighten the angular energy. Numerals follow the same display-minded contrast and feel designed to hold their own in headlines and large settings.
