A high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp tapering into fine hairlines. The design mixes broad, weighty stems with sharp triangular and wedge-like terminals, creating a carved, slightly calligraphic texture. Curves are full and rounded with tight apertures in places, while diagonals and joins stay clean and controlled. Proportions read generously set with substantial capitals and a compact, readable lowercase that maintains clear differentiation across forms and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, cover lines, posters, and statement branding. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the strong modulation and sharp terminals are most effective at larger sizes and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, combining classical serif cues with a stylized, fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and flared terminals give it a confident, editorial voice that feels formal but not conservative, leaning toward theatrical headlines and premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, premium serif voice by combining classic proportions with flared, wedge-like finishing strokes and extreme modulation. The emphasis seems to be on impact and elegance in display typography rather than neutrality, producing a distinctive silhouette and an energetic page color.
In text, the heavy vertical emphasis and pronounced hairline-to-stem transitions create a lively rhythm with noticeable sparkle, especially around letters with sharp internal joins (like K, V, W, and y). The numerals appear similarly stylized, with bold main strokes and pointed finishing details that keep them visually consistent with the letterforms.
