A high-contrast serif with hairline thins and sculpted, widening stroke endings that read as subtly flared rather than blunt. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp apexes and fine, pointed terminals, while rounded letters show taut bowls and a clean vertical stress. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders; details like the single-storey “g,” delicate “a,” and the brisk, tapering “t” reinforce a chiseled, calligraphic-influenced finish. Numerals follow the same display rhythm, mixing strong verticals with hairline joins and pronounced curve modulation for a dramatic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand systems where an elevated, high-contrast serif can carry the message. It will also perform well for posters, lookbooks, beauty and fashion applications, and premium packaging where sharp detail and dramatic rhythm are assets.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, balancing severity with a fashionable lightness. Its sharp hairlines and sculptural flares create a sense of ceremony and precision, lending a premium, magazine-forward voice that feels modern-classic rather than rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif display typography, combining classic proportions with flared, sculptural stroke endings for a distinctive signature. The goal seems to be strong visual hierarchy and a refined, luxury-leaning texture in prominent text.
In text settings the contrast produces a pronounced black-and-white sparkle, with letterforms that feel narrow in their thick strokes yet expansive through fine hairlines and open counters. The font’s crisp terminals and tapered joins give it a distinctive, cut-stone clarity that favors larger sizes and careful spacing.
