A high-contrast display serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms show a calligraphic, chiseled construction: thick strokes feel swollen and rounded in places while terminals pinch to fine points, creating strong light–dark rhythm. Serifs are small but expressive, often bracketed or wedge-like, and many curves exhibit asymmetrical stress. Proportions run generous and open, with large counters in letters like O, D, and P and compact joins that keep the texture punchy in setting.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and other larger-size settings where the high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can add character to posters, book covers, and brand marks, and works well for short text blocks, pull quotes, and titling where a confident, refined presence is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and elegant, mixing editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical, vintage flavor. Its dramatic contrast and flared detailing give it a premium, attention-grabbing voice that reads as curated and fashion-forward rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama through flared strokes and razor-thin hairlines, producing a sculptural, display-ready texture. It aims for strong identity in titles and branding while maintaining enough structure to set short passages with a distinctive editorial feel.
In text, the strong contrast and tight interior details create a lively sparkle, especially around joins and diagonals (e.g., V/W/X). The numerals share the same sculpted contrast and pointed terminals, making them feel ornamental and headline-oriented.
