A high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Thick verticals are paired with hairline joins and tapered arms, creating crisp, graphic counters and a strong light–dark rhythm. Many curves show subtle notches and angled cut-ins at joins, giving an ink-trap-like bite and a slightly sculpted, chiseled finish. Proportions are fairly traditional with compact bowls and confident capitals; spacing reads firm and display-oriented, with a lively, slightly uneven texture across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other display applications where the contrast and sharp terminals can read clearly. It also works well for brand marks, book and magazine covers, fashion and beauty packaging, and large-scale editorial typography that benefits from a bold, refined voice.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classical serif formality with a dramatic, almost theatrical sharpness. It feels editorial and fashion-forward, projecting prestige and intensity rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact take on classical serif structure: elegant in silhouette, but energized by flared strokes, sharp terminals, and sculpted joins. Its details suggest an emphasis on visual drama and brandable character over neutral text performance.
Distinctive angular details appear throughout: pointed beaks on some terminals, tapered cross-strokes, and occasional deep cut-ins that add sparkle at large sizes. Numerals are equally stylized, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp curves that match the uppercase rhythm, making the set feel cohesive for titling and prominent numeric data.
