A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply tapered joins. Strokes shift quickly from thick to hairline, creating a vivid light–dark rhythm, while the serifs read as wedge-like and subtly bracketed rather than slabby. The letterforms are upright and generously proportioned, with crisp apexes, pointed beaks, and smooth, rounded bowls that feel carved rather than purely geometric. In text, the weight concentrates in verticals and key curves, giving a pronounced, glossy texture and strong word-shape presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and brand marks where high contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. It also works well for posters, covers, and upscale packaging where a dramatic, refined serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining luxury-editorial polish with a slightly theatrical, poster-like impact. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add a sense of sophistication and drama, while the sturdy main strokes keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display serif that blends classical letterform cues with pronounced contrast and flared endings to maximize impact. Its shapes prioritize a stylish, attention-grabbing texture and a confident, editorial presence over neutrality.
At display sizes the hairlines and tapered details read cleanly and give the design its character; in dense settings the strong contrast produces a lively, high-ink texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same engraved, high-fashion logic, pairing broad stems with delicate finishing strokes for a striking, rhythmic silhouette.
