A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, chiseled feel. Curves are taut and controlled, with relatively narrow joins and crisp apexes, while serifs read as sharp triangular spurs rather than flat slabs. The overall rhythm is energetic and high-impact, with noticeable variation in letter widths and a slightly condensed feel in some capitals balanced by broad rounds in letters like O and Q.
Best suited to large sizes where the dramatic contrast and flared terminals can read cleanly—such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short pull quotes, titling, and packaging where a classic-but-striking serif voice is desired.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone—confident, dramatic, and refined. Its sharp terminals and high contrast add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, suggesting luxury branding and headline-driven typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif framework with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge terminals, creating a display-forward face that feels both traditional and sharply contemporary. The goal seems to be strong impact and elegance in headlines, with a distinctive, sculptural texture on the page.
In the sample text, the heavy contrast and pointed terminals create strong vertical emphasis and a lively shimmer along baselines and caps. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with crisp, angled finishing strokes that keep counters open but visually active, while numerals carry the same flared, cut-stone character for cohesive display use.
