A high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed transitions that give strokes a carved, wedge-like feel. Vertical stems read weighty while hairlines taper sharply, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm and sharp internal counters. Serifs tend toward triangular, splayed forms rather than flat slabs, and curves often finish in pointed or beak-like endings, producing a lively, slightly calligraphic texture in text. Proportions are generous and open, with rounded forms that feel substantial and a consistent, assertive stroke modulation across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, magazine titling, posters, and book-cover typography where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and sharp tapers.
The font conveys a confident, upscale tone with a sense of stagecraft and historical sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and flared detailing suggest editorial polish and a touch of vintage glamour, balancing refinement with a bold, attention-seeking presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif forms with a pronounced flared, sculptural finish, prioritizing impact and character over neutrality. It aims to deliver an elegant but forceful voice for modern editorial and brand-led typography.
In continuous text the strong modulation and angular terminals create a distinctive, animated pattern, especially around bowls and joins. Numerals share the same chiselled contrast and splayed finishing strokes, keeping display settings cohesive across letters and figures.
