A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke logic. Vertical stems read strong and straight while joins and terminals flare into pointed, knife-edge accents, giving many letters a chiseled silhouette. Curves are smooth but crisply finished, with occasional ball-like terminals and sculpted hooks; counters tend to be open and the overall color stays lively due to pronounced thick–thin transitions. Proportions lean broad with generous internal space, and spacing appears built for display sizes where the sharp details stay clear.
Works best in headlines, book or magazine titling, and poster typography where the sharp serif details and contrast can be appreciated. It can also support branding for boutiques, cultural institutions, and formal events, particularly where an elevated, classic voice with a decorative twist is desired.
The tone feels literary and classical, but with a theatrical edge from the spiky terminals and dramatic contrast. It suggests formality and tradition while still reading as distinctive and slightly ornamental, suited to attention-grabbing, cultured settings rather than neutral text work.
Likely intended as a display serif that reinterprets classical forms with more exaggerated, tapered serifs and crisp finishing strokes to create drama and distinction. The design prioritizes silhouette and rhythm over neutrality, aiming for a refined but memorable typographic personality.
Several glyphs show distinctive, pointed finishing strokes (notably in diagonals and curved letters), and the numerals carry the same sculpted contrast, making figures feel as designed as the capitals. The sample text demonstrates a rhythmic, slightly animated texture: the sharp serifs and flared joins create sparkle across lines, especially in mixed-case settings.
