A sculpted serif with strongly tapered strokes and pronounced flared endings that create wedge-like serifs. The rhythm is driven by sharp triangular joins and crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W), paired with rounded bowls that show tight, high-contrast transitions. Terminals often resolve into pointed or teardrop-like forms, giving counters a carved, calligraphic feel rather than purely geometric construction. Uppercase proportions read sturdy and display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps a compact, traditional structure with clear differentiation across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine and book titling, posters, and brand marks where contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact passages (pull quotes, section openers) where a dramatic typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a refined, high-end character that feels at home in fashion or cultural publishing. Its sharp contrasts and flared details add a sense of ceremony and gravitas, suggesting prestige and formality without looking mechanical.
This appears designed to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing serif voice by combining classical proportions with exaggerated contrast and flared, sculptural stroke endings. The emphasis is on distinctive letterform silhouettes and crisp detail for strong presence in large-scale typography.
The design favors impactful silhouettes: strong vertical presence, energetic diagonals, and distinctive terminal shapes that remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. At larger sizes the nuanced flare and tapering become a key part of the texture, producing a lively, chiseled color on the page.
