A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted stems that flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs read as pointed and blade-cut rather than bracketed, giving capitals a crisp, chiselled silhouette and strong vertical emphasis. Curves are tightly controlled with deep ink traps/joins in places, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Lowercase forms show a sturdy, oldstyle-inspired structure with prominent entry strokes and flared feet, producing an energetic rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand identities that want a refined but forceful serif voice. It also fits premium packaging, event titling, and pull quotes where dramatic contrast and sharp terminals can be showcased.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with an editorial polish that feels at home in fashion and luxury contexts. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a sense of sophistication and authority, while the flared endings introduce a slightly calligraphic, handcrafted edge.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif foundation with pronounced flared, blade-like terminals to maximize impact and elegance. It emphasizes high-contrast stroke modulation and sculpted finishing to deliver a distinctive, contemporary editorial flavor.
Numerals and capitals present a particularly strong display presence, with distinctive wedge terminals that create sparkle at larger sizes. At smaller sizes, the pronounced contrast and sharp details suggest it will benefit from generous sizing and comfortable spacing to preserve clarity.
