A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into sharp, triangular finishing strokes. Curves are taut and smoothly drawn, with deep, dark bowls contrasted by hairline connections and incisive internal counters. The uppercase feels statuesque and tightly controlled, while the lowercase shows compact, slightly angular constructions (notably in a, e, s) that emphasize crisp joints and pointed beak-like details. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with strong verticals and tapered ends, giving the set a cohesive, display-forward rhythm.
Best used for headlines, subheads, and prominent pull quotes where its contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, and poster work that benefits from a bold, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, balancing classical elegance with a contemporary, fashion-led sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings create a sense of luxury and theatricality, suited to attention-grabbing typographic moments rather than quiet neutrality.
The font appears intended as a modern display serif that reinterprets classical high-contrast forms through flared, wedge-like terminals and crisp cut-ins. Its emphasis on sculptural stroke endings and dramatic rhythm suggests a focus on distinctive identity and editorial sophistication.
In text settings the heavy main strokes create strong word shapes, while the fine hairlines and pointed terminals add sparkle but also increase sensitivity to size and reproduction conditions. The design’s distinctive flaring and sharp inner cuts give it a carved, almost engraved presence that reads as deliberate and premium.
