A high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and strongly tapered hairlines. The letterforms lean on sculpted, calligraphic modulation: thick verticals narrow quickly into sharp, wedge-like terminals, and many joins show a subtly sheared, carved quality. Serifs read as bracketed and often triangular, with pointed beaks and notched transitions that create a crisp, faceted silhouette. Curves are generous but tensioned, producing distinctive teardrop-like apertures and lively counters; overall spacing and rhythm favor display clarity over text neutrality.
Best suited to headlines and short, impactful settings where its flared terminals and contrast can stay crisp—magazine mastheads, book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes and section titles when ample size and spacing are available to preserve its fine hairlines and sharp details.
The font projects a dramatic, editorial tone—confident and stately, yet with a slightly eccentric, hand-cut sharpness. Its flared endings and razor-thin hairlines add a theatrical, poster-like presence that feels classic but not conservative.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions with a flared, calligraphic stress and deliberately sharpened terminals, emphasizing silhouette and contrast for display use. Its distinctive cuts and wedge-like finishing suggest an aim for memorable, high-impact typography rather than quiet body-text neutrality.
Uppercase forms appear especially architectural, with strong vertical emphasis and emphatic terminals, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and tighter internal spaces in places. Numerals share the same chiseled contrast and pointed finishing, giving sets a cohesive, punchy texture at larger sizes.
