A sculpted display serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, flared stems that create a strong black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are pronounced and wedge-like, with a carved, calligraphic feel in the way strokes swell into terminals and narrow into fine joins. The capitals are stately and compact, while the lowercase shows distinctive, energetic shapes (notably in letters like a, g, and y) with tight apertures and crisp detailing. Numerals are robust and stylized, matching the font’s angular, high-drama modulation.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short-form copy where its flared strokes and sharp hairlines can be appreciated. It works especially well for magazine/editorial design, poster typography, book covers, and brand marks that need a classic yet striking serif voice.
The overall tone is authoritative and theatrical, pairing classic editorial polish with a slightly eccentric, crafted personality. It reads as confident and ceremonial, with enough sharpness and contrast to feel fashion-forward and attention-grabbing.
Likely intended as a high-impact serif for display settings, emphasizing dramatic contrast and flared, chiseled terminals to create memorable silhouettes and a premium, editorial presence.
The design leans on strong verticals and pointed terminals, producing impactful word shapes at larger sizes. In longer lines, the intense contrast and tight counters make it feel more like a headline or titling face than a text workhorse.
