A sculpted serif with strongly modeled, swelling strokes and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins. Serifs read as bracketed and flared, with wedge-like feet and subtle tapering that gives many endings a teardrop or beak-like finish. Counters are compact and the rhythm is punchy, with rounded bowls and angled joins that create a chiseled, poster-ready texture. The numerals match the display emphasis, with bold, curving forms and sharp, tapered entry/exit strokes.
Best used for display typography: headlines, editorial titles, pull quotes, and high-impact branding where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work on packaging and labels when a premium, classic-but-bold voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is theatrical and confident, mixing classical serif cues with a more flamboyant, fashion-forward sharpness. It feels premium and attention-seeking—suited to statements rather than quiet body text—while still retaining a traditional, bookish backbone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through heavy, sculpted forms and flared serif endings, creating a refined but forceful display serif. Its high contrast and tapered terminals suggest a goal of adding elegance and drama without losing readability in short text.
Uppercase forms look especially weighty and sculptural, and the sample text shows dense color with distinctive internal notches and tapered joins that add sparkle at large sizes. Curves often terminate in pointed flares rather than blunt cuts, increasing the sense of motion and drama across lines.
