A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed joins that create a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes transition quickly between thick verticals and hairline connections, with sharp wedge-like serifs and tapered ends that often finish in pointed beaks. The overall construction is upright and formal, but the contours are slightly animated: bowls and diagonals show subtle modulation and occasional asymmetric stress, producing lively rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis and crisp corners, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with compact counters and decisive terminal cuts.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and titling applications that benefit from a refined, high-impact serif with a distinctive silhouette.
The tone is luxurious and emphatic, combining classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward, dramatic edge. Its sharp flares and glossy contrast suggest refinement and ceremony, while the slightly idiosyncratic terminals add personality suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings, delivering a polished, premium voice that stands out at larger sizes. Its controlled proportions and assertive contrast prioritize impact and elegance over neutral, long-form invisibility.
In text settings the intense contrast and spiky terminals create strong texture, making spacing and line length feel visually important; it reads best when given room to breathe. The design’s distinctive terminal shapes (notably on letters like C, S, T, and the diagonals in V/W/X) contribute to a recognizable, signature look.
