A tightly set, display-oriented serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals and triangular serifs, giving the outlines a carved, blade-cut feel rather than a bracketed book serif. Curves are full and rounded but finish in crisp points, and counters tend to be compact, reinforcing a dense, poster-friendly texture. The lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic construction with tapered shoulders and distinctive ear/terminal shapes, while numerals and capitals keep a stately, monumental stance.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as headlines, deck text, magazine titles, posters, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and flared terminals can read as intentional detail. It can also work for packaging and cultural/event graphics when used at generous sizes with considered tracking.
The overall tone is bold, refined, and attention-seeking, balancing elegance with a slightly rebellious edge. Its high drama and sculptural terminals evoke fashion headlines, luxury packaging, and vintage editorial typography with a modern, sharpened bite.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in display typography by combining classical serif proportions with exaggerated contrast and sculpted, flaring stroke endings. The goal seems to be a distinctive, premium voice that stands out in editorial and branding contexts without relying on ornament beyond the terminals.
The design’s rhythm is built around heavy verticals and razor-thin hairlines, so spacing and line breaks play a big role in maintaining legibility at smaller sizes. The distinctive flaring at stroke ends creates a consistent, signature silhouette across letters and figures, especially noticeable in rounded forms and diagonals.
