A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, triangular serifs. The design leans on broad, weighty verticals paired with hairline connections and pronounced wedge-like terminals, creating a strong light–dark rhythm. Curves are taut and slightly pinched at joins, and the overall texture is compact and dense, with a distinctly carved, calligraphic feel in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and pointed finishing, reading as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and editorial layouts where its contrast and sharp details can read cleanly at size. It also works well for branding, luxury packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined but attention-grabbing serif voice.
The font projects a polished, high-fashion tone with a dramatic, authoritative presence. Its sharp finishing and exaggerated contrast suggest elegance and ceremony, while the compact rhythm adds intensity and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a flared, high-contrast serif: compact, impactful, and visually luxurious. Its sculpted terminals and hairline connections prioritize expressive display character and strong typographic hierarchy.
Capitals show a stately, inscriptional stance with prominent flares, while the lowercase introduces more bite in letters like a, g, and y through tight apertures and tapered joins. In longer text the strong vertical emphasis and thin hairlines create a lively shimmer, favoring larger sizes where the fine strokes can remain clear.
