A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Vertical stems read sturdy while hairlines are extremely fine, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm across words. The serifs are sharp and triangular rather than bracketed slabs, and many joins and terminals taper to points, especially in diagonals and curves. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with lively, varied letter widths; capitals are stately and compact, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a moderate x-height and compact counters.
Best suited to display typography where its sharp flared serifs and extreme contrast can read cleanly—such as magazine headlines, cultural posters, book covers, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where a formal, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, combining old-style refinement with a sharper, more emphatic edge. It suggests prestige and seriousness, with a slightly gothic or engraved flavor that heightens drama in headlines.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through flared, wedge-shaped stroke endings and heightened contrast, producing a bold, attention-grabbing texture while retaining classic proportions and an editorial sensibility.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create striking texture and sparkle, particularly at larger sizes. Numerals appear weighty and stylized, matching the wedge-terminal logic and reinforcing a display-forward personality.
