A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and noticeably flared stroke terminals. Vertical stems feel firm and weighty, while hairlines thin sharply, creating a crisp, ink-trap-free silhouette. Serifs are wedge-like and often softly bracketed into the stems, giving letters a carved, tapered look rather than a flat slab. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) show strong thick–thin rhythm and a slightly dynamic stress, while joins and counters remain open enough for display readability.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and premium branding where contrast and sculpted details can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for short subheads and packaging when printed well, but its fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classical bookish cues with fashion-forward sharpness. Its flared endings and dramatic contrast read as premium and editorial, with a hint of vintage signage elegance rather than utilitarian text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice by combining classical proportions with pronounced flaring and dramatic stroke modulation. The goal seems to be strong presence in display typography while keeping a cohesive, traditional letterform foundation for elegant word shapes.
Uppercase forms feel authoritative with broad internal shapes and strong vertical emphasis; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep stout main strokes with tight hairlines, enhancing the contrasty sparkle in words. The lowercase maintains a traditional texture with rounded, weighty bowls and distinctive tapered terminals, producing a lively rhythm in running headlines. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with bold primary strokes and fine connecting hairlines.
