A high-contrast serif with pronounced calligraphic stress and sculpted flared terminals. Stems feel chiseled, with wedge-like serifs and pointed joins that create crisp internal angles, especially where curves meet verticals. The round letters show pinched, tapered transitions and compact apertures, while the overall rhythm alternates thick verticals against hairline connections for a distinctly editorial texture. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with small, tight counters and strongly modeled bowls; numerals follow the same carved, contrast-driven construction.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, magazine and editorial design, and brand work that benefits from strong contrast and sharp detail. It can also serve for packaging and poster typography where its sculpted serifs and dramatic modeling remain clear and intentional at display sizes.
The tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its crisp hairlines and assertive serifs give it a sense of prestige and formality, while the flared shaping adds a slightly dramatic, display-oriented voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact serif for contemporary editorial and branding use, leveraging flared terminals and strong contrast to create a luxurious, crafted impression. The consistent carving-like transitions suggest an emphasis on expressive, display-oriented clarity rather than neutral text economy.
In text settings the high contrast creates a lively, shimmering line, but the tight apertures and thin joins make it feel more at home at larger sizes than in dense, small copy. The overall silhouette reads structured and deliberate, with a consistent, sculptural modulation across caps, lowercase, and figures.
