A sculptural serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that give stems a carved, expanding finish. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic influence: curves swell into heavy bowls while hairlines taper sharply, producing crisp internal counters and high-contrast joins. Serifs are expressive rather than strictly rectangular, with noticeable bracketing and angled beaks on several capitals; lowercase forms carry compact, weighty bowls and distinct teardrop-like joins. Spacing feels slightly tight in text, reinforcing a dense, poster-friendly texture with strong vertical rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals can remain clear—editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion or cultural posters, and brand marks that want a classic-but-dramatic voice. It can work for short text runs such as pull quotes or deck copy, but the dense texture and sharp contrast favor display settings over long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, combining classical sophistication with a theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp tapers and flared endings read as refined and premium, while the strong contrast adds drama and immediacy. The texture suggests headline authority more than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display serif with classical roots, emphasizing dramatic contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals to create an engraved, high-fashion presence. Its proportions and detailing prioritize impact and personality, aiming for a distinctive headline texture that feels premium and authoritative.
Capitals are stately and wide-shouldered, while several lowercase forms show pronounced entry/exit strokes that create a subtle italic-like energy despite the upright stance. Numerals appear display-oriented, with bold curves and fine tapering details that match the alphabet’s high-contrast logic.
