This serif presents sculpted, flared stem behavior with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs feel bracketed and wedge-like rather than blocky, creating a crisp, chiseled silhouette across caps and lowercase. The proportions are moderately condensed in many letters, with a lively rhythm driven by narrow joins, tapered strokes, and slightly variable letter widths. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and pointed finishing details that keep figures aligned with the text color.
Best suited for display and larger text where the high contrast and sharp serifs can read cleanly—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding systems. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where a strong, elegant texture is desired.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing traditional bookish credibility with a more dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast suggest refinement and ceremony, while the flared strokes add a crafted, slightly calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif with flared, sculptural strokes—aiming for strong presence, refined detail, and a luxurious editorial voice. Its contrast and tapered finishing points prioritize impact and elegance over purely utilitarian neutrality.
In text, the font produces a dark, authoritative color with clear word shapes, especially in headlines. The lowercase shows distinctive, tapered entry/exit strokes that give lines a gently kinetic feel without leaning into italics. Curved letters (C, G, S, O) emphasize the contrast and pointed finishing, reinforcing the typeface’s crisp, engraved character.
