This serif has sculpted, wedge-like terminals and pronounced bracketing that give strokes a flared, carved feel. The design leans on very sharp thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and delicate serifs contrasting against broad main stems. Capitals are compact and weighty with crisp apexes (notably in A and V/W), while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and a slightly calligraphic rhythm, including a single-storey g and strong ear/terminal details. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with angular cuts and tapered endings that keep the texture lively rather than mechanical.
Best suited to display-driven settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, brand marks, and campaign posters where contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but its dramatic modulation will dominate long passages unless set generously.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial voice. It conveys luxury and tradition, but the aggressive contrast and flared endings add a modern, attention-grabbing edge suited to statement typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif with a carved, flaring stroke finish—combining classical proportions with more assertive contrast for contemporary editorial and branding use.
In text, the strong contrast and tight, ink-trap-like interior shaping create bold word silhouettes and prominent vertical rhythm. The flared terminals and sharp joins produce a crisp sparkle at display sizes, while the heavier thick strokes keep paragraphs visually assertive.
