A high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends, creating wedge-like terminals that read as both elegant and assertive. The letterforms show a mix of sharp, tapered entries and broader, sculpted exits, with crisp hairlines against substantial main strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall width feels generous with steady, upright construction. Numerals and capitals carry a display-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable rhythm at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, and brand applications where a high-impact serif voice is desired. It can work for short passages, pull quotes, and display typography in packaging or identity systems, particularly when set at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The tone is polished and dramatic, evoking fashion and editorial typography with a refined, slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals convey sophistication and a sense of premium craft, lending a poised, modern-classic feel.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness, using flared terminals and extreme contrast to maximize elegance and presence. It prioritizes visual impact and refined texture over neutrality, aiming for a premium editorial character.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and flared endings create a lively shimmer and a distinctly stylized texture, especially in rounds and diagonals. The design favors crisp, print-like clarity and benefits from ample size and spacing where delicate hairlines can remain prominent.
