A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared, wedge-like stroke endings that read as tapered serifs rather than slabs. Curves are full and weighty, with crisp terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress that gives rounds (O, C, G) a carved, ink-trap-like sparkle. Capitals feel stately and compact with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and tightly controlled interior counters, while lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls and distinctive wedge terminals on strokes and joins. Numerals are equally high-contrast and display-leaning, with angled cuts and dramatic tapering that create lively rhythm across a line.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display sizes where the contrast and flared terminals can read clearly. It works well for editorial layouts, fashion or cultural posters, premium branding, and packaging where a dramatic, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and elegant, combining classic bookish authority with a showy, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp tapers and glossy contrast lend a sense of luxury and drama, while the traditional serif structure keeps it anchored and credible.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through exaggerated contrast and flared, chiseled terminals, producing a display-oriented face that feels both classical and attention-grabbing. The goal seems to be strong headline presence with a refined, boutique sensibility rather than a purely utilitarian reading serif.
In text settings the heavy main strokes and narrow joins create a dark, rhythmic texture; the most distinctive character comes from the flared endings and sharp, triangular cuts that add motion to otherwise traditional forms. The design favors strong silhouette and headline impact over quiet neutrality.
