A display serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, triangular terminals that create a carved, ink-trap-like sparkle in the counters and joins. The design shows pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine connecting strokes, with smooth, rounded bowls and broadly proportioned capitals. Serifs and terminals often resolve into wedge-like points rather than bracketed slabs, giving the letterforms a chiseled, faceted rhythm. Lowercase maintains a traditional structure with compact shoulders and tight apertures, while numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic for a cohesive texture.
It performs best in headlines, magazine layouts, and branding where its carved details can be appreciated at display sizes. The strong silhouette and high-contrast rhythm suit posters, packaging, and luxury-oriented identity work, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, blending classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp internal cuts and flared endings add a sense of drama and sophistication, suggesting premium editorial styling rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: formal proportions enlivened by flared terminals and crisp cut-ins to increase visual energy and memorability. Its emphasis on sculptural contrast and distinctive terminals points to a purpose-built display face for impactful titles and brand marks.
The font’s distinctive internal notches and pointed terminals become more prominent at larger sizes, where the cut-ins read as intentional detailing rather than artifacts. In dense settings, the strong vertical emphasis and frequent wedge terminals create a bold, patterned color that benefits from generous tracking and leading.
