A high-contrast serif with expansive, horizontally oriented proportions and a strong calligraphic undercurrent. Strokes transition sharply between thick verticals and hairline joins, while serifs flare into wedge-like, slightly bracketed terminals that often end in pointed or teardrop shapes. Counters are broad and open, producing a luminous texture in text despite the bold thick strokes, and curves in letters like C, G, O, and S show sculpted, chiseled stress. Lowercase forms include distinctive ball/teardrop terminals and pronounced entry/exit strokes, giving the design a rhythmic, decorative cadence without becoming script-like.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated, such as magazine mastheads, poster headlines, book-cover typography, and branding that aims for classic luxury or dramatic flair. It can work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and comfortable spacing, but its pronounced detailing makes it less ideal for dense, small-size body text.
The font reads as assertive and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial, high-style voice. Its sharp terminals and sculpted curves evoke classic print traditions—headline-driven, slightly Baroque in flavor—while maintaining enough regularity to feel composed and deliberate. The overall tone is formal and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional high-contrast serif by pushing width and terminal drama, creating a distinctive display face that still anchors itself in conventional serif construction. The consistent flare, pointed finishing, and broad counters suggest an emphasis on elegance, impact, and recognizable silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
The figures are similarly stylized, with curved, sweeping strokes and pointed terminals that align with the serif language of the letters. In text, the strong contrast and wide stance create a bold, patterned color; spacing appears generous enough to keep counters from clogging, though the sharp interior joins and hairlines make the texture feel lively and ornate.
