This serif design features sharply modulated, high-contrast strokes with distinctly flared, wedge-like serif endings that create a sculpted, engraved feel. Curves are generous and taut, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that add snap to bowls and diagonals. The overall color is bold in display sizes, while the internal counters remain open enough to keep letters from clogging. Uppercase forms show a stately rhythm with prominent vertical emphasis, and the lowercase pairs that with compact, sturdy shapes and crisp finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand marks where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for premium packaging and campaign graphics, and for short pull quotes or section openers where a refined, dramatic voice is desired.
The font reads as elegant and assertive, balancing classical sophistication with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp flares project confidence and luxury, giving text an editorial tone that feels curated and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end display serif with flared terminals that amplify rhythm and drama while maintaining a disciplined, classical structure. It aims to create distinctive silhouettes and an upscale tone for editorial and branding applications.
Letterforms show a consistent flare logic at stroke ends, producing a distinctive silhouette in capitals like T, V, W, and X, and a strong, stylized presence in rounded characters such as O, Q, and G. Numerals carry the same high-contrast, display-oriented construction, matching the uppercase for strong typographic hierarchy.
