This typeface is a right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and strongly tapered, flared stroke endings. Serifs read as sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a cut, chiseled finish rather than a flat slab. The overall construction feels calligraphically informed: curves swell into heavy bowls, joins are crisp, and diagonals are energetic. Proportions are compact in the lowercase with a moderate x-height, while capitals are broad and stately; widths vary noticeably by character, producing a lively, editorial rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper, with clear, sturdy forms intended to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and prominent typographic moments where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It will work well for magazine and fashion/editorial layouts, brand wordmarks, premium packaging, and poster titling—especially when set with generous tracking and comfortable leading.
The font conveys a confident, fashion-forward classicism—refined and upscale, but with enough slant and contrast to feel dynamic and attention-grabbing. Its sharp terminals and dramatic modulation add a sense of theater and sophistication suited to premium or culturally oriented contexts.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with expressive, calligraphic modulation: a high-contrast, flared serif that delivers authority and elegance while maintaining a distinctive, contemporary edge in display typography.
In text samples, the heavy contrast and narrow internal apertures create strong word shapes and a dark, sculpted texture, especially in longer lines. The italic angle and wedge terminals emphasize forward motion, making the face feel more like a display-leaning editorial serif than a quiet, neutral book face.
