A bold, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes transition from thick verticals to finer hairlines with crisp joins, giving counters a tight, chiseled feel. The proportions read slightly expanded and sturdy, with a steady upright axis and a consistent, emphatic rhythm across both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and flared finishing, producing a solid, display-forward texture.
Best used for headlines, magazine and book titling, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, especially in print-oriented layouts where contrast and detail are preserved.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional with a contemporary, punchy edge. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast create a sense of prestige and seriousness, while the flared endings add a crafted, slightly calligraphic sophistication. The result feels suited to statements that should look decisive and polished.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic, high-contrast serif voice with flared, sculptural finishing—prioritizing impact, elegance, and a refined editorial tone over neutrality.
In text, the weight and contrast create a dense color that favors larger sizes where the hairlines and brackets stay clear. Round letters (C, O, Q) and the diagonals (V, W, X) show pronounced stroke modulation that heightens drama and reinforces a carved, editorial character.
