Beaked write transducer

An apparatus, comprising:

• an array of write transducers, each write transducer having:
• a first write pole having a pole tip extending from a media facing side of the first write pole, wherein the pole tip of the first write pole is configured to emanate magnetic flux directly from the media facing side toward a magnetic medium;
• a second write pole having a pole tip extending from a media facing side of the second write pole;
• a nonmagnetic write gap between the pole tips of the write poles;
• a first high moment layer between the write gap and the pole tip of the second write pole;
• and
• a second high moment layer between the write gap and the pole tip of the first write pole,
• the first high moment layer having a higher magnetic moment than a magnetic moment of the pole tip of the second write pole,
• the second high moment layer having a higher magnetic moment than a magnetic moment of the pole tip of the first write pole,
• wherein the first high moment layer protrudes beyond a plane extending along a media facing side of the second pole tip,
• wherein the second high moment layer protrudes beyond a plane extending along a media facing side of the first pole tip.
