A sculpted serif with strongly tapered strokes and pronounced flare at terminals, producing a carved, ink-trap-like rhythm without feeling mechanical. The design leans on sharp triangular joins, wedge-like serifs, and narrow hairlines against broad main strokes, giving counters a tight, elegant tension. Round letters show brisk, asymmetric thinning, while verticals read firm and slightly chiseled; overall spacing feels compact and display-oriented, with lively width variation across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where high-contrast detailing and sculptural terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine typography, fashion or cultural posters, and brand marks seeking a refined yet striking serif presence; for longer text, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes.
The tone is dramatic and editorial, mixing classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp transitions and flared endings create a confident, slightly theatrical voice that feels premium and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to translate classical serif construction into a contemporary, high-impact display style, emphasizing flare, taper, and sharp joins for a memorable silhouette. It prioritizes dramatic texture and distinctive letterforms over neutrality, aiming for a premium editorial voice.
Lowercase details such as the single-storey a, the hooked descenders (notably g and y), and the lively, angled terminals add motion and personality. Numerals are similarly stylized, with strong thick–thin modeling and distinctive curves that suit headline use.
