A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and sharp, wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems feel sturdy while hairlines get extremely thin, producing a crisp, chiseled rhythm across words. Counters are relatively tight and the joins and terminals show a slightly calligraphic modulation, with pointed beaks and tapered arms on letters like E, F, T, and r. The lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height, and the numerals and caps carry a display-forward, slightly variable silhouette that reads strongly at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of editorial copy where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging applications that benefit from a crisp, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is editorial and stylish, mixing classical serif cues with a dramatic, fashion-led contrast. It feels confident and luxurious rather than friendly, with a refined sharpness that suggests high-end print and polished branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display serif with classic roots, emphasizing dramatic contrast and flared finishing details for a premium, attention-grabbing texture in large typography.
In text settings the strong thick–thin transitions create a lively sparkle, while the flared terminals add a distinctive “carved” finish at stroke endings. The heavy top serifs and pronounced beaks in several glyphs give it a somewhat theatrical, headline-centric presence.
