A sculptural serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often flare out of the stems, giving a chiseled, carved feel rather than flat slab endings. Curves show a calligraphic snap with pointed joins and teardrop-like details in places, while vertical strokes read sturdy and dominant. Overall proportions feel compact and solid in capitals, with a slightly livelier, more idiosyncratic rhythm in the lowercase; numerals follow the same high-contrast, display-oriented construction.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, posters, and brand marks where the dramatic contrast can work at generous sizes. It can also support elegant pull quotes or section openers, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is confident and theatrical, combining classical refinement with a fashion-forward edge. Its crisp contrast and flared finishing suggest prestige and ceremony, suited to statements that want to feel curated and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif voice with classical cues, using flared terminals and sharp contrast to create a premium, attention-grabbing display presence.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tight interior spaces make the texture dense and punchy, favoring larger sizes and shorter lines. The flared terminals and sharp transitions create distinctive silhouettes that remain recognizable even in all-caps settings.
