A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, bold main strokes, and a distinctly sculpted feel where stems broaden into flared, wedge-like endings. The proportions lean compact and slightly condensed, with tight bowls and refined apertures that keep the texture controlled in lines of text. Serifs are sharp and light, while curves are smoothly tensioned, producing crisp joins and a polished rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for magazine-style typography, luxury packaging, and promotional posters, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic, balancing classical refinement with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes create an elegant, upscale impression that feels at home in curated, premium settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice for contemporary editorial and brand applications, using flared stroke endings and crisp hairlines to create a memorable, premium texture.
Uppercase forms read authoritative and stable, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic modulation in curves and terminals that adds sophistication without becoming ornamental. Numerals match the display energy, with pronounced contrast and clean, editorial presence.
