A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give an incised, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals often narrow to fine points, creating crisp white cut-ins and a lively silhouette. Uppercase forms feel formal and sculpted, with wide bowls and assertive verticals; lowercase shows more movement through angled entries and teardrop-like finials, producing a slightly irregular, hand-influenced rhythm. Figures match the overall contrast and tapering, with strong diagonals and sharp terminals that keep the set visually consistent in display sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and cultural branding where a classic serif voice with extra flair is desirable. It can add sophistication to book covers, posters, titles, and identity work, particularly when set at medium to large sizes where the fine tapers and flared terminals remain clear.
The tone is refined and theatrical, blending classical bookish authority with a fashionable, editorial edge. Its sharp tapers and flared endings add a sense of craft and drama, making text feel purposeful and slightly luxurious rather than purely utilitarian.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on flared, incised-style serif lettering—combining formal proportions with energetic, calligraphic terminals to create a distinctive display text face that feels both traditional and modern.
The design relies on pronounced stroke modulation and narrow, pointed terminals, which makes the texture sparkle and the letterforms feel animated, especially in curves like C, G, S, and the round lowercase. The overall color is bold yet not heavy, with contrast doing most of the expressive work; spacing and shapes suggest best performance when given room to breathe.
