A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel. Stems are firm and vertical while thin strokes taper to hairlines, producing a bright, sparkling rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with generous counters, while the lowercase shows moderate x-height and strong thick–thin modulation; bowls and joins are clean and controlled rather than calligraphically soft. Numerals match the same sharp contrast and pointed terminals, reading as formal and display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and large-size typography for magazines, book covers, and premium branding where contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings where fine hairlines hold up.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a hint of classical inscriptional authority. Its sharpness and contrast create a dramatic, premium feel that reads as deliberate and sophisticated rather than casual.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver an elegant, editorial voice with strong contrast and refined detailing, balancing classical serif conventions with sharper, more contemporary precision. The flared stroke endings and crisp serifs suggest an intention to look carved and luxurious while remaining readable in short text.
The design relies on thin connecting strokes and fine serifs, so it visually rewards larger sizes where the hairlines can remain clear. The pointed terminals and flared endings create a distinctive sparkle that stands out in headings and short blocks of text.
