A high-contrast serif with strongly flared, bracketed stroke endings and an emphatic thick–thin rhythm. The letterforms are upright and broad, with sculpted curves, crisp joins, and tapered terminals that read as calligraphic rather than mechanical. Counters are generously open in rounds like C, O, and Q, while strokes often pinch into hairlines at turns and junctions. Lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, and punctuation-like details (dots, terminals) appear as weighty, rounded forms that reinforce the bold, carved look.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and other display typography where its contrast and flared serifs can render cleanly and provide strong personality. It works well for editorial design, fashion or cultural branding, premium packaging, and event posters where a refined yet bold voice is needed. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes with careful leading to keep the contrast from becoming visually busy.
The overall tone is dramatic and polished—classic in structure but with enough flamboyant flare to feel fashionable and display-forward. It carries a refined, editorial confidence suited to premium contexts, while the pronounced contrast and sharp shaping add theatricality and impact.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with a modern, high-impact display sensibility, using flared terminals and sharp contrast to create a sculpted, attention-grabbing texture. It aims for elegance and authority while maintaining distinctive, brandable letterforms.
The font’s flaring is especially evident on verticals and diagonals, giving stems a subtle ‘bell’ profile and a carved, engraved presence on the page. In text settings, the heavy main strokes and bright hairlines create a lively shimmer; spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, with distinctive silhouettes that keep words recognizable even with strong contrast.
