A high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Vertical stems are dominant and clean, while hairlines snap to fine points in joins and serifs, giving the letters a chiseled, calligraphic edge. The uppercase is sturdy and stately with sharp, triangular finishing, and the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with compact bowls and pronounced contrast; details like the ear and terminals feel sculpted rather than bracketed. Figures follow the same sharp, elegant construction, with strong curves and thin connective strokes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, book covers, posters, and premium packaging where the high contrast can shine. It can also work for short text elements like pull quotes or section openers when printed or rendered large enough to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—evoking fashion editorial typography, classical inscriptional cues, and a sense of premium polish. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of a classical flared serif: sharp, high-contrast letterforms with an inscriptional snap, optimized for elegant impact in titles and identity work.
Spacing and letterfit appear tuned for headlines: the forms are wide and open, but the thinnest strokes and pointed terminals create a sparkling texture that can get delicate at small sizes. Round letters (O, Q, 8, 9) show taut, controlled curves, reinforcing a precise, crafted feel.
