A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs read as tapered and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving many letters a carved, chiseled finish rather than flat slabs. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals often resolve into sharp points, creating a crisp rhythm across text. Proportions feel traditional with moderate counters and a sturdy baseline presence; numerals share the same bold, display-oriented contrast and pointed terminal treatment.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where its sculpted terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short text passages in high-quality settings, but its thin hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution environments.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classic bookish authority with a theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast create a sense of drama and polish that reads as premium and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing flared, carved-looking terminals to add distinctive personality and impact. It prioritizes strong silhouette and elegance for attention-led typography rather than purely utilitarian reading text.
In the sample text, the intense contrast and flared endings create striking word shapes and a strong horizontal cadence, especially in capitals. Fine hairlines appear delicate against the heavy stems, so the face reads most confidently when given enough size or print-quality rendering.
