A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with rounded bowls, crisp joins, and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm that reads as both classical and display-forward. Serifs appear as wedge-like or gently flared terminals rather than blunt slabs, and the overall drawing favors smooth curves and clean, decisive edges that hold their shape in large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, campaign typography, and brand marks where the dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine-style layouts, book covers, and packaging that benefit from an upscale, classic-forward voice.
The tone is elegant and commanding, with a fashion-editorial sheen and a slightly theatrical contrast that feels premium. It suggests tradition and refinement while still feeling contemporary due to its crisp finishing and bold presence.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif authority with a more sculpted, flared finishing to amplify contrast and create strong shelf impact. Its proportions and refined terminals prioritize personality and presence over neutrality, making it a natural choice for display-led typography.
In text settings the dense color and strong contrast create a distinctive texture, with prominent capitals and expressive curves in letters like S, G, and Q. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same sculptural contrast, giving headings and pull quotes a cohesive, poster-ready voice.
