A crisp display serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Vertical stems read firm and weighty while hairlines snap to fine points, creating a dramatic light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving many joins a carved, chiseled feel rather than a purely calligraphic one. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and the overall construction stays upright and controlled, with slightly condensed-feeling capitals and sturdy, compact lowercase shapes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and fashion or cultural posters that want a premium, high-drama serif voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is refined and assertive, balancing classic editorial polish with a theatrical, high-impact presence. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast suggest luxury and formality, while the stout proportions keep it confident and authoritative.
The design appears aimed at a modern, high-contrast serif with flared, carved terminals—built to deliver elegance and impact in display settings while retaining enough structure for short runs of text.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create lively sparkle at larger sizes, but dense passages can feel dark and busy where hairlines cluster around joins and diagonals. Numerals and capitals carry a poster-like gravity that suits statement setting, and the distinctive flared endings give words a recognizable silhouette.
