This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty curved strokes that create a distinctly sculptural rhythm. Stems often broaden into subtly flared endings, producing wedge-like terminals and serif forms that feel carved rather than bracketed. The proportions are lively—round letters show deep thick–thin modulation and tight inner counters, while verticals remain clean and upright for a composed, formal silhouette. Spacing reads on the tight-to-moderate side in the sample text, with strong word shapes and crisp punctuation.
It performs best at display sizes where the fine hairlines and pronounced contrast can stay crisp—such as magazine mastheads, article titles, campaign headlines, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck text when ample size and good reproduction are available.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, pairing refined elegance with a slightly theatrical edge. It evokes fashion and editorial design—confident, luxe, and attention-grabbing—while still feeling rooted in classical serif tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: classic in structure but sharpened through extreme contrast and flared stroke endings to create a memorable, premium look in headlines and branding.
Distinctive curves and flare behavior are most noticeable in bowls and diagonals, where the stroke thickening feels deliberate and expressive. Numerals and capitals carry the same contrast-driven style, giving headings a bold, poster-like presence while maintaining a refined finish.
