A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Strokes alternate between hairline-thin connectors and weighty verticals, giving the letterforms a strong black–white rhythm. Counters are relatively open and the curves are smooth but taut, with pointed joins and distinctive angled cut-ins on several characters. The overall fit reads display-forward with confident, stable proportions and a clean upright stance.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp details can remain clear: magazine titles, editorial headlines, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for upscale packaging or short pull quotes where a strong, high-contrast texture is desirable. For long-form text, it will typically perform better in larger settings with comfortable spacing.
The tone is polished and dramatic, evoking fashion publishing and premium branding. Its sharp terminals and stark contrast add a sense of theatre and sophistication, while the flared endings lend a refined, slightly expressive warmth compared with a purely Didone structure. Overall it feels formal, attention-grabbing, and intentionally stylized.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that blends classical high-contrast construction with flared, chiseled terminals for extra character. It prioritizes impact, elegance, and a distinctive silhouette over neutrality, aiming to create a memorable typographic voice in titles and branding.
Uppercase forms read especially stately and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps a similar contrast and flare, producing a consistent voice across cases. Numerals match the display character, with pronounced contrast and sharp, angled finishing strokes that help them stand out in headlines.
