A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like stroke endings that read as sharp, triangular terminals rather than blunt slabs. Stems swell and taper with a calligraphic logic, creating a lively rhythm and strong vertical emphasis, while bowls and joins remain crisp and slightly angular. The lowercase shows moderate x-height with distinctive, sculpted entry/exit strokes (notably in a, c, e, and s), and the numerals carry the same thick–thin drama with pointed feet and tapered curves, giving the set a cohesive, chiseled texture.
Best suited for headlines and short runs where the high-contrast strokes and flared terminals can be appreciated—magazine titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks that want a confident, stylized serif voice. It can work for pull quotes or short editorial blurbs when set with ample leading and restrained line lengths to keep the texture readable.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, combining classical serif cues with a more theatrical, display-forward sharpness. Its high contrast and flared details suggest a refined but assertive voice—suited to bold statements, fashion-like sophistication, and vintage-leaning elegance without feeling delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display serif that blends classical proportions with sculpted, flared endings for maximum impact. By emphasizing dramatic thick–thin transitions and pointed terminals, it aims to create a memorable, high-energy typographic presence for statement typography.
Spacing and letterforms create a strong, poster-like color at larger sizes, where the flared terminals and tapered curves become the main character. In dense settings, the sharp wedges and strong contrast can build a busy texture, so it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing when used in text blocks.
