A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. The design shows strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered joins and crisp, sharp apexes on letters like A and V, balanced by generous curves in C, G, and O. Serifs feel slightly curved and chiseled rather than flat, and several letters feature expressive terminals (notably the ear and tail forms, plus a distinctive Q with a sweeping tail). Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact with a two-storey a, a looped g, and rounded i/j dots, while numerals carry the same dramatic contrast and angled stress for a cohesive texture.
Well suited to magazine headlines, book and section titles, and premium branding where a confident, classic voice is needed. It also fits packaging, invitations, and display-heavy layouts that benefit from dramatic contrast and sculpted serif detail.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a fashion-editorial edge. Its sharp details and calligraphic contrast read as classic and cultured, while the flared endings add a slightly theatrical, engraved quality that feels premium and deliberate.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif credibility with a more expressive, flared finishing, creating a display-forward face that feels both classic and contemporary. Its emphasis on contrast, tapered joins, and distinctive terminals suggests a focus on impactful headlines and brand statements rather than purely utilitarian text setting.
In text, the font produces a dark, confident color with lively rhythm from the contrast and flaring. Large sizes showcase the sculpted terminals and bracketing best; at smaller sizes, the fine hairlines and tight interior spaces in some letters may require comfortable sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
