A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharply cut wedge-like serifs. Strokes move between hairline-thin joins and heavy, bulbous stems, creating a strong vertical rhythm and a distinctly carved silhouette. Curves are taut and slightly pinched, with compact apertures and pronounced teardrop/ball-like terminals in places, while the overall spacing and proportions read as display-oriented rather than text-neutral.
Best suited to large sizes where the extreme contrast and flared details can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book covers, posters, and brand identities seeking a strong, crafted serif voice. It can also work for short subheads or titling in premium packaging or event materials when ample size and spacing are available.
The font conveys a dramatic, editorial tone—confident and attention-seeking, with a refined yet slightly baroque theatricality. Its sharp serifs and flared terminals add a sense of craftsmanship and tradition, while the extreme contrast gives it a modern, fashion-forward punch.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction with exaggerated contrast and flaring terminals, prioritizing silhouette and drama. The goal is a distinctive display face that feels both traditional and stylized, optimized for impact in editorial and branding contexts.
In the sample text, the heavy joins and narrow internal counters make the texture dense, especially in mixed-case words with repeated verticals. The numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculptural logic, giving figures a poster-like presence that favors headlines over small sizes.
