A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and wedge-like serif forms that feel carved rather than mechanically drawn. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and stroke endings sharpen into pointed or beaked details, creating a strong light–dark rhythm across counters and apertures. The uppercase reads monumental with broad, stable proportions; the lowercase is compact and weighty, with prominent shoulders and pronounced terminal shaping that adds texture in continuous text. Numerals follow the same display-minded construction, mixing bold stems with fine hairline transitions and crisp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, title treatments, posters, and brand marks where its flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, provided size and spacing allow the finer hairlines to remain clear.
The overall tone is commanding and theatrical, blending classical serif formality with a more expressive, fashion-forward sharpness. It feels luxurious and attention-seeking, with a poster-like confidence that suits high-impact statements and refined branding moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast serif voice with a flared, calligraphic edge—combining classic editorial authority with distinctive terminal shaping for memorable, premium-feeling typography.
Spacing and color appear dense, and the dramatic stroke modulation means fine details can close up at small sizes. The distinctive flared endings and sharp internal cuts give the face a lively sparkle in headlines, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
