A high-contrast display face with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp, tapering transitions that create a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, while joins and apexes (notably in V/W/Y) come to fine, sharp points. The lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a single-storey a and g and tight, rounded bowls; counters stay fairly open despite the thick–thin drama. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, mixing broad verticals with hairline-like curves and pronounced terminal shaping.
Well suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and brand wordmarks where a refined, high-impact presence is desired. It can also work for premium packaging and event collateral, especially when set with generous spacing and used at display sizes rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong thick–thin interplay and flared details lend it a premium, editorial voice that feels poised and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished display serif voice with strong contrast and subtly calligraphic shaping. Its flared terminals and sculpted curves prioritize personality and elegance, aiming for memorable titles and identities over purely utilitarian reading.
In text, the face reads best when given room: the wide set and pronounced modulation create a strong typographic color and distinctive word shapes. The most delicate strokes and pointed terminals suggest it will benefit from adequate size and contrast against the background to preserve its fine details.
