A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared terminals that widen into crisp, triangular wedge-like endings. The serifs are sharp and angular with subtle bracketing, while vertical stems read strong and steady against hairline-thin connections and entry strokes. Counters are compact and well-defined, with a slightly condensed, tall-shouldered feel in many capitals and a rhythmic, calligraphic tension in curves like C, G, S, and the numerals. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with a two-storey a and g and short, assertive finishing strokes that keep the texture dense and high-impact.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, display copy, and brand marks where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also support short passages or pull quotes at generous sizes and spacing, where the sharp terminals and sculpted rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classic bookish cues with a more theatrical, high-fashion bite. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast give it a confident, premium voice that feels suited to statements rather than background reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice with flared finishing strokes that add drama and a crafted, chiseled presence. It prioritizes impact, elegance, and a distinctive editorial texture over neutral, utilitarian reading tone.
In text, the dense black and crisp hairlines create a lively, sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. Some joins and terminals resolve into pointed beaks and tapered wedges, giving the design a distinctive, carved character and a strong sense of directionality in diagonals and curves.
